It sounds like your engine has a bad case of bad accelerator pump in the carburetor.

I'd rebuild or replace the carb (it is a four barrel isn't it?) and finish it off with real good tuneup.

350 Chevys respond real well to a an Edelbrock Perfomer on the street. This seems to work especially well in our trucks. If you don't have one you you can usually find a decent one on craigslist for under 75.00 Also a good set of dual exhaust to get the gasses out.

Although I've been guilty of automotive speed indiscretions in the past involving contests of speed on the street I would suggest taking it to a legal strip, pay the entry fee and race each other during time trials. You don't have to race during the regular races but you can make a few legal side by side passes to see who gets bragging rights and not worry about a ticket in the process.
