4 hole carb spacer for better signal, will it work? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Backfire out of the carburetor is a lean mixture issue. Try moving the accelerator pump cam to the number 2 spot so it comes in faster. You could try a cam assortment to use a more aggressive pump cam. Also think about going up in shooter size.

I have a Barry Grant Stage III 750 on my Camaro that flows 1040 cfm with all the tricks and it is more driveable with better response than the 700 cfm double pumper it replaced.

But the 4 hole would give you more velocity for better throttle response, but it sounds like pump shot to me.
