Carl,
Your getting there buddy just be patient. On my set up I have a 355 cu in with a 950 holley with 80 in the front and 82 in the back. It gets HOT in Missouri. The motor is a little fat in the heat but I'd rather keep it fat than lean. You have to be careful not to lean the motor out. Your running out of fuel could be the pump or a lean condition. What's your fuel pressure? Is it the same all the way down the track? I know it's hard to see when your moving. Look at your plugs that should tell you lean or fat. I also run 38 degree's timing with the advance locked down. Too much timing will also make the car seem likes it's running out of fuel. In any case without being there I would step up the jets and square the sizes front and rear to start. 80 front and 80 back. Go up 1 or 2 sizes until it slows down then back off 1. Just a few things to try.
If I'm not mistaken it sounds like your pump delivery. Are you running an air cleaner?
Keep me posted Carl :wink:
