[6pack] Missing under load

Tuning following my engine rebuild...   When I put the pedal to the
floor in any gear, the engine misses badly, and smooths out when I
back off the throttle.   This is especially true at 2000 rpms or less.
  Once over 2500, it accelerates pretty well, still misses
occasionally.

I have 9.5:1 compression, Goodparts GP2 cam, smoothed ports.   I am
running with stock ZS carbs.

I have checked timing, points, plugs multiple times.   Have advanced
and retarded timing a few degrees.   Replaced wires, rotor, dizzie cap
with known good ones.   Changed carb needles for B1E.   All these with
little effect.   Dashpots have 5/20 oil in.

Vance called the GP2 a hairy cam, as I recall, and I am starting to
wonder whether that might be the issue.   Maybe it needs to run over
2500 rpms...

Any other experiences out there or suggestions for where to go from here?
