    88 chevy 1500 tuning issues

    I have had this motor for almost a year as a daily driver now. I have for the most part drivability idle to 3200rpm with out knock and seems to run pretty good. Where my main issues are is it may break the tires loose a little off the line so it seems I may not have enough something there and also after about 3/4 throttle it drops off. My idle seems a little high usually in park around 1100-1300 and in drive with brake anywhere from 800-1000. The vehicle is a 88 chevy 1500 reg cab reg bed weighs 3960lbs without me in it. here is the motor build:
    motor: ATK SP03 357 4-bolt .040 +12.3cc Dish pistons 9.7:1 w/64cc

    stainless midtube headers 1 5/8 to 3in
    msd blaster coil
    electric fans
    upgraded to 3 wire o2 sensor
    I have a 700r4 trans rebuild about 3yrs ago with the extra clutch packs and upgraded valve for firmer shifts(im not a transmission person had a buddy build it who has a transmission shop)
    FTI 2,400 stall convertor
    3.42 gm posi rear
    255/60r15 tires

    I have been reading post for years learning and tweaking the setup but I am getting stuck at this point. I know I will only get 5000 rpm out of the tbi which is fine.
    I do not have a wideband o2 for testing from what I have been reading seems I might need t get one.
    I started with Dave w. Performance AMUR bin file and have gone from there. I just changed the timing a little and have a little better low end and during normal driving but still 3/4 throttle up drops on it's face. Here is the bin files and logs. Oh yeah it is a 7747 $42. The datalog .csv would not upload so I zipped it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I got all the info and files you need to take a look.

    Also just to make sure this is working corretly I have a raspberry pi running android connected to a 5in touch screen running aldldroid which is where I datalog from and is also a touchscreen gauge cluster when driving.
