90 PSI is not much compression are you sure the new heads are the same chamber size and type?
Might also verify your timing is set correctly and the timing advance is working properly.

What's the new 2 barrel carburetor you put on it?
Usually a pretty well worn out engine might have 90 pounds compression. Is the gauge accurate? Did you test with the throttle fully open? Since you have a normal rotation engine (earlier thread), do you know it's history? And like already asked by MrMcD what's the timing set at?
