It dont feel like 350Hp
I need some help. i just switched over from tbi to a carb and guys running my same setup are running well over 350hp. i have a stock 350 block, lt4 hot cam, edelbrock air gap, vortec heads, 750 holley, msd box, msd wires and a holley fuel pressure regulator. i know my timing is a bit off b/c it misses slightly. i used a vacuum gauge to set the timing b/c that is all i had at the time. so i was wondering what the heck could be wronge? timing, carb mixture, ect... help please b/c it feels like my 350 tbi i had in there before and it shouldnt.

What do you have for rear gears, and what torque converter do you have?

right now i have a b/m 2000 stall and 273 open but i have a 373 posi waiting to be put in. i know its not the gears though. im thinking maybe my tv cable is not working properly. i tried adjusting it and its not doing what it is supposed to do... making the clicking sound when you adjust it. so i think maybe its that.

Get the timing squared away before you even drive the damn thing. Timing will make or break a motor, literally.
