I am having problems with my Holley 850dp. I installed the Holley Adjust-a-jet kit, and now it is acting like fuel is sloshing around. Whenever I go around a corner, the car stumbles. Whenever I come to a hard stop, the car stumbles. Most importantly, at the dragstrip on a hard launch, the car takes off, bogs, and then picks back up. The float bowls are setup correctly. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry to say this, but get rid of the Adjust-A-Jet. My 67 had one on it when I bought it. The first thing my carb guy did was remove it.

Any other suggestions? I really like the concept of the adjust-a-jet, and would like to keep them.
