Problem is it runs out of steam at the top of the first gear.
Running an Edelbrock Super Victor with a Carter AFB 585 cfm, fresh Product Engineering 9500 Fuel Pump and 4 port regulator.
What do you guys think?

Hi Frank, Jim Hale could be very helpful with that combo but my thought is you're turning it too high, I would go with a 4.56 gear and back to a 2.45 first and advance the cam a little.
