Muzak Mouse from 7 Hot Engine Combo article Aug 2003

First post here, please bare with me  

So I built one of the 7 engines in this article, I think it was the Muzak Mouse but I do not recall, specs are as follows:
350 SBC, 4 bolt mains, 9:1 compression
Cam is an SSI from PAW: 214/224 duration with .443/.465 lift @50 (comp cams made it)
GM Cast Iron Vortec Heads
Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap Intake
GM Ram's Horns manifolds, 2-1/2"
600 CFM Carb (mine is a Carter AFB)

Engine runs GREAT! It is in my '59 Chevy 1/2 Ton pickup with a Turbo350 trans and a 10 bolt corporate wtih 3.42 gears. I believe my torque converter stall is around 2100-2400 but the trans was a freebie so I didn't complain too much!

PROBLEM is, truck cannot get off the line... It bogs or stalls if you floor it. Part throttle and WOT performance are awesome but transitioning from idle to the primary circuit is an issue. I have called and worked wtih Edelbrock Tech Support but alas, no avail. I have a Performer Vortec intake and am thinking about switching to a it for better low-end, not sure yet.

I would appreciate any insight or advice from the experts out there or anyone that has a similar build; I know this combo will work, I just have not coaxed the genie out of the bottle yet. Thanks in advance
