My plugs are telling me I am running a fat cam that is running rich. Like big cam motors do.

Your plugs may be sooted, but a big cam causing this is simply not true. You have a host of other problems.

I have a small block with .570" lift and a big block with .600" lift, both have beautiful light tan coloring on the plugs.
