Default 350 small block carb question

so i got this 350, its got a demon 750 with vacume secondaries on it among other add ons, it runs fine but when i stomp the gas it bogs out but after a few seconds and you pick up speed it just opens up and runs like a bat outta hell, i adjusted the idle mixture and idle speed already i have tried all the vacume springs same thing everytime is there something else i should be adjusting???? its a older demon and in a couple weeks im gonna go buy a new carb but i dont want to if i dont have to any ideas?

1. it may need a rebuild
2. sounds like the secondarys are opening too fast, what about a hard roll does it do it?
3. 750 is also too much carb for a semi stock 350. 600 may be a lil better. i ran a 670 street avenger on a 11:1 357 with 250 shot a few years back and was deep into the 11's. so it may be too much carb

Sound like the carb is to big. With vac sec it shouldn't fully open the secondary if the carb is to big unless you have the wrong spring in it. Does it have jets in the rear or a plate?

tried changing the cam? i ran a 750 on a 355 and had no problems with it...your secondary jets may be too large aswell..but check your cam 1st.

im not seeing the complete relevance of your cams lift, and "big" AFR's.
