Truck don't like the heat, summer carb tuning? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What can I do to get some summer performance in my q-jet? It hates this 100 degree heat during the day, and the truck runs very weak, and even falls on it's face at WOT at the top of 2nd gear, stalling until you back off the throttle. But at night it wakes back up and does quite well.

Also, since my truck has a third gen Camaro air cleaner on it, I'll be routing some sort of setup to pull cold air from behind the headlights, so it will be getting ambient air, not under hood air.
