I think everyone here is on the right track. I have the same engine and cam as you but I am running some other things to help it out a bit. Heads, Intake, ROller rockers, solid lifters, etc.

I run about 37 degree all in timing and I don't run hot but I am only bored .015 over stock (I left a little room for another complete rebuild down the road). Also, start your engine and crack the front of your intake manifold just behind your thermostat and crack that fitting and allow all your air to purge once your engine gets up to temp.
