CarbedZ-28

Not new to this site just a new screen name,(couldnt remember password).
The problem is, it pops(goes lean and backfires) at about 4300rpm in first gear and i leave at about 3200 and then just picks up and runs 12.3/12.5 on widebands all the way thru 7000 rpm in both of the other gears with no pop. I thought it was the fuel sloshing from vents into the venturi but i put a hose from vent to vent and vented the middle of hose like the railcars do. I do have a stock hood on it and was told by a ten five friend of mine that REHER-MORRISON told him that any n/a engine needed at least 4 open inches above the the body of carb, i dont know if any one has heard of this issue or has had it before but its slowing me down almost a full second and i wanna hit the 11's before i spray this thing. So all in all PLEASE HELP?!?!?!?!?!
