I am running a Holley Blue with #8 to the regulator and #6 from the regulator to the carb. I started at 6psi, and ended up at 9 1/2. I have a feeling I need alot more volume. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions. The carb has been modified w/ no metering rods/ 66 holley jets on the primary. The engine is an index runner, it was dyno'd years ago at 507 hp. It ran 11.08 at 118 w/ a Holley during testing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I run the T/Q with no rod and the holley jet, 77-80 and with a 143,149,154 rear jet with about 7 1/2-8 lbs of fuel pressure, maybe raise the float level as well.
