i use a 750 dbl pumper on my 283 so it musnt be to much for a 350 :O

Is't it displacement x's peak rpm and then 80% of that for VE for carberation?
Maybe you could check your filter as well. Too big and you'll get vapor lock ,too small (starvation)sounds like a probable cause in your case.
Also I would consider at least a 95 gph pump.You're probably at around 350 HP?
Anymore questions I'll be in the study with an iron pipe.

You rock Scooter.
After playing around on my new DynoSim, I have observed that there really isn't any such thing as going too big on the carb from a power standpoint. I have been taught for many years that you don't want to over-carb a motor, but the software tells me a different story.
Some time back, Denny suggested a formula of CID times 2. I think that formula is valid and may even be a minimum, as in your case. (CID times 2.48).
Playing with a 283 last night, I observed increased power the larger I went on the carb, all the way up to 1000 CFM.
