RE: drivability problem

With a fairly lumpy cam (your description) the engine will want the advance curve modifying to suit, or you will have a soggy bottom end and maybe backfiring and be generally unresponsive until the R's are up. This sounds like the situation you are already in. Try different springs in the dist, or even removing one spring to speed up the curve, but be careful of detonation and if it does ping under load, do not continue without first pulling back the timing to be safe. It depends on your CR and what grade fuel you use among other factors. HTH
Cheers, Martin.
