What kind of filter are you running in the fuel line? Some filters are specifi to fuel injection systems with high gpm pumps. I diiscovered this when we put my car on the dyno. One of the sensors is tapped into the fuel line and showed a pressure loss after 3000 rpms. I was having a problem with fuel starvation on a long hard run through the gears.
I also had a problem with the carb getting too hot when sitting after a long run. The carb would soak up the heat from the engine and intake. I fixed that with a isolator kit from Jegs. I also have hood clearance issuse so it took a little head scratching but I made it work.
