The holley is the better performance carb hands down. Your right where you need to be on gearing. converter is close enough that it should be fine. What do you have for an ignition system? Is the timing curve set properly for your setup? Proper timing will make a huge difference in how a vehicle runs.If you hold at a stop and bring the truck up on the converter what rpm are you at? Is it actually stalling to 2800rpm? It shouldnt have an issue blowing the tires off standing on the brakes and bringing it up to rpm.
