Hy 696969, if your Holley has the sight plugs for setting the float level, check the float level. If the carb has been backfired through, it probably has destroyed the power valve inside the carb. Carbs are set to a basic setting, they need to be tuned and setup for specific applications. It sounds like it might be leaning out on acceleration, hope that helps.

Hy 696969, If you can't work on it yourself, then look for a tune-up shop or a high performance shop that works on carburetors to check/rebuild your carb and do the setup on the engine, hope that helps.
