Default big stik 40 underpowered?

Hi,
I just finished a Great Planes Big Stik 40 with a Megatech .46 engine. The engine set up great and I broke it in according to the book. I'm taking off from a grass runway which is very long (about 75 yards) but it takes the whole field to get the plane in the air. I'm using the 2.5 inch wheels that came with the plane. Do I need a bigger engine, bigger wheels, bigger field, or something else. Is this normal for grass? (I've always flown from an asphault runway)
