check your valve spring rate. Your valves could be floatting. Might need a stiffer spring.

What is the fuel pressure at the carb.

If fuel volume and presure is not the problem. Check to see if the carb might be a little to small. It might be acting like a restrictor plate. 750 carb should be good though. Might need to step up to an 850 or 900 carb if you have a big cam.
Also if your not running an air cleaner, the turbulance could be taking the air fuel mix out of the carb.

Is the cam timed correctly? I think it might be 180 degrees out. I had an engine that ran good but, it would not rev past 4500 rpms and was very weak. once we reset the timing chain it ran great.
