3.2SS Rebuild - Way down on power

I'm in the break-in stage of my 3.2SS and the engine is way down on power.. Here are the engine specs:

'79 SC 3.0 Case
Mahle Max Mortiz 98mm 9.8:1 P&C
DC20 Cams
Megasquirt EFI

The left bank, 1-3, is generating heat and all the plugs look good.

The right side, 4-6 does not get hot, the exhaust is cool and the plugs look like nothing has happened - although heavy gas smell.

I tested for spark and 4-6 is getting spark. I tested the wires, all test 4 ohm resistance and look good. I tested for fuel by pulling the fuel rails on both sides and both eject the same amount of fuel (I had the EFI working on the engine before doing the rebuild).

I'm thinking the right side timing is off. I'm a newbie at this. Do these symptoms suggest this is the problem???

thanks,

-Rob
