Unless there's something mechanicly wrong with the pump, it should be plenty...checking the floats would be a good idea...your secondaries working correctly? What power valve in the rear? My gut thinks a weak pump would show up farther down-track than in 2nd, but I'm sure Eric will correct me...

I tried a high flow pump from Carter a couple years ago in place of our stock AC...the A-B-A testing showed absolutely *no change* when swapping pumps...I may be jinxing myself here, but our 3700+ pound Camaro will trap anywhere from 117-118mph on our *non-sexy" stock pump.

The carburetor is totally stock, so whatever it called calls for in the stock specs is what is in or on it.
I had it restored back in the very late 90's and then rebuilt in 2001 or 2002 when the cork gaskets dried out from the car sitting too much. The guy who did the work did not use cork this time.
