Default of idle bog

Hey guys.... I have a 355 Vortec heads solid cam race gas combo in my bogger. I also use it for sand drags. When I am staged and up on the foot brake about 2500 rpm and leave @ full throttle it almost dies and i have to pedal it to get it to come back. After that it runs fine and j shft @7000 . I have a 750 hp holley and i have adjusted all settings as good as i know and cannot get.this bog out. If i spray it out of the hole there is no bog but n/a it is horrible. Could it be that there is not enough timing in it n/a? Thanks

It sounds as if you DON'T have enough fuel going into it. Try BIGGER squirters and a quicker accel pump cam.

Pink cams, set up to discharge fuel the entire way thru the primary then secondary throttle openings.
Get those hollow squirter screws front and back.
If your using float bowl type nylon washers on the bottom of the squirter some of them are too tight around the thread...not allowing fuel to get thru the squirter in the amount needed. The hollow screws take away any restrictions, makes the Carb act much more consistant

My .02. Bigger squirters. Float level too high and fual sloshing in. Clogged orifice somewhere. Clogged idle or high speed air bleed. Or issue with timing advancing. If no issue with nitrous I vote float level or squirter.
