Too much timing?

Thanks buddy yall didn't loose me im still here I have been busy at work I don't get on the internet much during the week when I'm working. I will be off on Saturday tho and we will continue this journey lol I gotta talk to Dana about my carb I may end up pulling it. I have a spare holley I can use for a min. Im gonna order the fbo kit and play around with the total some. Thanks for all your help you have shed a crap ton of light on this situation. I still have a bunch of questions but we'll ge to them as they come. I have a bad habit of jumping the gun on questions and once I start working on it I realize the questions I asked were pretty self explanatory.
I just ordered the FBO kit (with springs & the book). Springs are backordered because they were not happy with the spring quality, so they found a different supplier. They have the plates in stock, just not the kit with the springs.
