Prop pitch/drive ratio? The hyperpistons dont make the best blower pistons, I have broke the Gm zz4 ones in a non blown 350 small block so watch the boost, timing and don't torque load it (which is what you might be doing right now), Smittty

Ring end gap is critical on those hyper-u pistons . Too tight and you tear the top ring land off .

Compression seems high for a blower motor. Is it detonating?

How does the AFR look?

lower the sparkplug gap to .028 and see what it does..may be blowing out the spark..

If there is no PV in the secondaries, then the secondary jets need to be about 10 sizes bigger than the primaries. Did Nickerson build this carb for your engine????

I had a similar set up in a street rod and the engine pulled hard to 6000rpms+.

The cam is kind of small. I would think something closer to .490 lift would have a lot more power up top.

How much boost????
