Isn't that RPM2 upper and lower a bit too much for stock heads? Obviously you put it back together different than what it was, I'd double check it. Or you can try bending your pedal, or putting a spacer on the throttle cable.

Peddle and throttle body connections are the only two things it could be. Gotta' make sure the throw of the cable is set correctly.

Easiest thing to do is get someone inside the car and have them push the gas all the way to the floor (car not running obviously), and the when it is at wot, see if you can open the throttle up more by twisting the linkage at the throttle body... Might wanna give that a try
