I have a Charger with a 440, RPM heads, Torker intake, 2" Hooker Headers, 292/.509 cam, Crane gold roller rockers, Rhoads Lifters, KB Flat tops, 10.6:1 CR, 870 Holley, MP ignition (chrome ECU) 727/3200 stall with 3.55 gears etc.

I am feeling a minor "surge" while cruising the car @ ~70mph. I want to say it's starving for gas. But when I stomp the pedal to the floor it takes off. I think I timed a 60mph-100mph run in about 5ish seconds with the car in 3rd @ approx 2300RPM(drive..it didn't kickdown into 2nd..not sure if it should at that speed). Does this sound like a good run with this car and engine build? I'm thinking the surge (if it's fuel related) may be slowing it down a little.

I am running an electric fuel pump with the pressure set ~7psi. Could this be the culprit? Should I turn it up 1/2 a psi or more? I have the carb set like Holley recommends, has good vacuum reading, idle, plugs look good etc.

Thanks

richen the pri jets 4 numbers and retry it

Vacuum advance hooked up? If so,disconnect and plug the hose. If it's better your timing curve(mech and vac) need some work.Just a thought,my car hated the vac advance at light throttle/cruise.

If no vac advance.......I agree with RapidRobert, it's lean!

Thanks for the info. It is hooked up. I won't be messing with this car for a few weeks since I'm in the middle of another one that's getting an engine transplant. But for whatever reason the thought popped into my head and I thought I would ask you guys so I can get my thoughts together when the time comes.
