505 stroker fresh off the dyno - Power seems low? Thoughs?

You are correct -.015 deck. When the machinist asked where to cut the deck, I called 440 source, the guy said, "ahhh just clean it up should be fine". I'm guessing there was a miscommunication and he wasn't aware exactly what I was working with. As down the road, long too late did I see the 15 thou below deck requirement. One thing I screwed up on was not measuring how far down in the hole the pistons were. Would this taller deck hight be my culprit?

And why is the timing so low?

How do you know what the compression ratio is if you never measured where the tops of the pistons are relative to the deck height???

And where is the intake centerline???
