Ben,
Back a number of years ago I had a similar problem where the motor on Brenda's car would skip (miss) when I would set the timing, or accelerate at a normal (non-dragstrip pace). However, the car would go like a scalded dog down the track. I was pulling my hair out over this. Then at a Nat Event, I asked Mike Walter to come take a look/listen. After 30 seconds he said there is no problem...its a race carb...set up to run at idle, OR wide open throttle, and nowhere in between. He further explained the secondaries are set up with such a light tip in for reaction off the line, so they flutter on slow acceleration.

Not saying...just relaying something to think about.
