I put my new holley on last night. It started up instantly, which was a very pleasant surprise and change from what I'm used to. It had noticeably more power when pulling through the gears, but I still couldn't put the pedal down too fast or it would sound more like a wild west gun fight then a hot rod.
I'm not sure if I just need a bigger acc. pump cam, I bought the cam kit but the thing doesn't tell you which color cams correspond to what pumping level. I tried to eyeball them, but they are pretty close.
