PUZZLER!!! My new motors a dog! what did I miss?

I corrected the dampened for tdc...
I actually checked the cam degree with wheel and dial indicator....doesn't mean I didn't make a mistake.
I questioned the machinist about using the 12/12 install procedure....I have always used 6/12...

I have thought about the secondaries opening on Eddie...but I know my Holley DP was opening...and it ran sluggish with it...
