RE: 390 will not rev!!

The engine pulls hard to 5700 and then it quits pulling and the tach will not go above 6000 no matter how long you hold it. It has a solid cam, and the valve springs are correctly installed. I was there for every step of the heads. In fact the first springs I got did not match the specs so we orderd a second set to make it right. I have been playing with carb float levels and ignition timing and maybe helped a few hundred rpm. It has autolite 32 plugs. I went with a colder plug for the higher compression. The plug readings have been good. The look a little funny when you burn 114 octane! I think your right in it being a tuninig issue. I'm just ready to here this old FE sing! Thanks Kevin
