Bottom line: You have over-cammed the motor.

Tech's spelled it out clearly, and your post actually says that the engine is doing pretty much what it should be doing, but would likely be stronger if your compression ratio was boosted and you were running aluminum heads and high octane gas to handle detonation. Seems like you've got some changes in your future, but you need to know your base before you start throwing more $$$ into the pit. Assuming your screen name (93F250) is the vehicle in question, dropping a SBC into a Ford truck is where your problems started..... (just kidding, just kidding).

To be completely clear it does not matter what rpm it is in if the truck is floored it bogs. If its been floored for a sec let up for a couple sec then floor it, it will bog.
