I am running 4.11-1 diff ratio, I leave the line at 5800rpm on the transbrake, powerglide, tyre size is 28 x 10.5 x 15. Pushrod size is 7/16.

Time for either more compression or less cam. Take your pick. That cam will require 13 or 14:1 to work right.
I think a 4.30 gear would help substantially too.
