have you changed the transmission fluid? have you taken it out onto the hwy and really driven it good and hard for a bit. I would run some Delo 15w40 diesal grade oil for the first 3000miles to really clean up the inside of the motor. then move over to a 10w40 or 10w30.
the cat converter may also be partially clogged, unhooking the Y pipe and driving around briefly to see if it peps up a bit.

Edelbrocks are good carbs for ease of use. Though I have a Holley 650 on my 390. I chose Holley for the tunablility, though they are a bot more sensitive to atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, and barometric pressure.

ease of use is what i am lookin for. im so tired of messing with this p.o.s holley i just got done changeing the coil and that helped but it still doesnt seem to have all the power that it should. im werkin all night so i will check the compression tomarrow morning before i go to werk again. the converter is already gone so i know that that is not the issue
