Running out of fuel

I installed my 30 over 350 this past weekend and from a dead stop when I floor it shes takes off but as the rpms come up its running out of fuel. I have a 3/8 hose form the stock pump to the 600 carb would it be better to have a 1/4 line to the carb would that fix the problem or should I get a higher flow fuel pump? Thanks Brandon

Re: Running out of fuel

goping from 3/8 to a smaller 1/4 is not going to increase fuel to the carb//

lazyman rubber fuel lines from the pump to the carb are a great source of engine fires// take the effort and make a steel line to the carb

Re: Running out of fuel

check your fuel pump volume possible plugged filter or bad pump. Also check the float level on your carb.
