Where's the Wow?

The idle drop has nothing to do with the cam timing .Usually its because the idle circut on the carb isnt rich enough or the converter is too tight my first guess is the carb.If you degreed the cam your ok your just reading it as the lifter is bleeding down.You seem to have enough cyl pressure. I think the problem is in tuning more than anything.But what about the valve springs? Are they correct? Do they have enough pressure for the xe cam?
