Bob,
It seemed to me to be evenly underpowered throughout the  range.  It really 
did feel like the gas pedal travel was  insufficient.  I noted afterward 
that part of his carpet kit was popping  up from the footrest and may have 
been contributing to that feeling.  His  at full throttle felt like mine at 3/4 
throttle.
That almost sounds like a timing issue (the thru out the range,  possibly 
even a frozen mechanical advance). But other than the lack of throttle  
travel, did it feel similar to your own car? I only say that, as the FI should  
be better from initial take off.
However, since it's running pig rich (15mpg really??), that might be  a 
good part of the problem. My dual carb Notch never got that bad of mileage,  
even running thru the hills of Missouri @80+ mph. :O
