so, my carb hasnt been tuned yet, im uust curious if anyone knows what my deal is.
ive got the rb prepped holley 600 double pumper setup, untuned.
ok, car runs, has a good bit of power only if i either floor it off the line, or downshift and floor it.
however if i keep it in gear and floor it, it just kinda puts along, doesnt really have much power.
has anyone with this setup experienced this, is it a tuning or jetting issue?
i was told it was propperly jetted from RB before being sent out.
thiis is on a gsl-se engine with a stock port.

would it not have been cheaper AND easier to send the injectors out to be cleaned and tested? or just buy new injectors?
it just makes no sense to me. now i can understand if you were using a blow thru turbo carb kit later on. which you are, right?
