Pinging B$@&%@rd 440!

Do you have a Holley you can try on it? Sometimes, Thermoquads can lean out on the top and that could certainly cause it. Just a simple swap for diagnosis.
well, i do, but...i dont know the first thing about a holley and it would need to be gone through..I know i know....but i have never messed with one..Ive always been a thermoquad guy ..This was hogged out to be run on this particular combo by demonsizzler from moparts..But i agree, it could still be leaning out at that last 2% of the pedal.
