See if moving the stock pump cam to a the second position makes a difference (I'm assuming a Holley carb but if not check how to adjust accelerator pump voluem/timing on the Edelbrock.) Go up several sizes in the shooter and see if that doesn't improve things.

If it runs fine at idle and at cruise speed, it seems to be a transition thing which is either idle circuit too lean or pump shot too small etc. Increase your idle mixture richness as well. Sometimes that improves the transition between part throttle and full throttle and will cover the "hole" or backfire that's created when you stomp on it.

On Webers of Del'Ortos, the "idle" circuit controls mixture until around 3000 rpm when the mains come in. So it's imperative that you get that right or you have all sorts of driveability issues.

i hear ya on this, and you make a good point. I have tried Fitech fuel inj system, even increased the pump setting alot, and then tried the carb that i know is good.
