always during acceleration or just when you hit bumps? are you running fuel perssure regulators? you need to run 1 regulator for each carb turned down to about 2~3 psi.

The power loss seems to come in the first few seconds of accelatrion...espicialy when i am trying to "hit it" the engin will lagg and the RPM will drop considerbly. Then by pumping the gas the RPMs come up and it has a lot of power.
I do not know what a fuel regulator is, on top of my fuel pump their is a silver dial with the numbers 1-5 on it. that is set to two... if i move it nothing seems to happen.

thank you for the help

Hey Vlax
Did you have it synchronized? Just a thought.
