Default alky carb problem

I have a problem with my carb.I have a 477 bbc with 13.1 comp,278-286 solid roller with bb2 heads,and a George ruppert 1050 alky dominator,with a magnafuel 500 fuel pump.Car runs 10.0@135
The carb came with 174 jets.George told me "do not go any bigger than 177.My problem is that my car lays over on top, and after the 1/4 mile and letting off the throttle and crusing to the end the car wants to shut off,i have to pump the throttle alot to get it running againit sounds like the bowls are drained.also, i now have 200 jets in the carb and my egts are 1249, i started at 174s and went up from there.
Do i need to put the 177 back in with smaller air bleeds?would that get my egts where they should be?
