Starved For Fuel?

[StriperSS]

I remember years ago when I first put a Holley carb on one of my cars. At the dragstrip it pulled like a bear in first gear and then fell flat on it's face when it hit second, like it ran out of gas. It actually did run out of gas, but it was due to the carb itself. I think it was float levels. I haven't fooled with a Holley carb for years, but that's where I would start.
