Default Blower with Carb questions

502 with 10-71 blower/intercooler twin 750 carbs on top. Jet size is 74/84 with 4.5 Power Valve. Set timing on stand, installed in boat and when in gear at 2800-3200 engines will flood out. PV is not boost referenced. 7 psi at the regulator. A1000's feeding aeronotive regulators....I'm no carb expert and am thinking my PV are set to low? Any help is appreciated

I'm not sure, my next step is to hookup vacuum gauges above and below the blower to get an adequate reasing
