Classic over carburetion problem?

Absolutely no reason to apologize! The first time I cammed up my 340 I had a brand new 750 competition series AFB stealth intake manifold and hemigrind camshaft ,4 speed and 323 gears **** it looked impressive with all that new aluminum piled on top of my 340 but when I took it out for its maiden run I was a little disappointed I had lost bottom end power and I don't know that it was any faster than the stock setup. Long story short, it wasn't till I put in a set of 391s that it all came together.( Oh yeah )
