Lack of acceleration possible engine swap

I have noticed that my class B monster is lacking acceleration along the straights. At Cadwell "Stafford" was making approx 30 meters on both straights on a 600ss.
On a track day this at Snetterton the same thing happened with another 600ss who was running standard road sprockets and I had a 15 toothed front sprocket and 48 toothed rear sprocket, so should have had the extra get up and go.

I am going to carry out a compression test and then if the results are near 10.7:1
I will chuck it on a dyno to see the power output.

Hopefully this will this will tell me if the lack of acceleration is down to the engine or my fat arse?
So my question is:-
1) Can anyone help with the lack of power?
2) Ithought about buying an engine and overhauling it for the future, can anyone tell me if a 600ss engine will fit in my monster frame.
3) Has anyone an engine for sale

Thanks in advance for any help.
