Yes!!!
If it's a RB Holley it will run like crap unless you give it 6psi and make sure that your Float Levels are about 1/4 to 1/2 turn Higher than what they recommend or you will get a Miss @ 60 or above.

I don't care what they say about adjusting there Floats till the Gas just starts to come out at the Site Plugs.
You got's to go alittle Higher.

Myself and Pineapple Racing have come to this conclusion.
Just make sure that you are holding 5-6 PSI @ WOT.

How do you know if you are running rich without a wideband. I think I'm running rich. I have a 70's 13B 4 port with -se housings and 90 rotating assy. The RB holley 600 installed runs real good. Jets are #60 in the primaries. Will try #58 and see what that does. Also have a nice streetport on it.
