If you are running a mild or stock camshaft the error that is often done is to install a carburetor that has a too large CFM potential for the application (IE 700+ CFM) and by design has throttle plates that are also too large for your application. If this is the case try a carburetor with smaller bores such as Holly 600 or 650. A smaller carb will always have a crisper throttle response, as long as the sizing is not too small for your engines RPM and top end breathing potential.
