Stalls over 5500 rpm

I have my RX7 since new(1980). Had a friend install holly carbs and work on the engine; headers... He never installed a high performance fuel pump. I have been using the stock fuel pump (new one).
So, every tine I go over 5500 RPM it stalls, it is not smooth. I always thought was the fuel pump.
Any comments would be appreciated.


Thanks

Juan

Stock pump is barely adequate as it is, it won't fuel a Holley that needs 6 psi. Time for a better pump.

Um........change the fuel filter yet? That's the most likely bottleneck if there is one.

Or even better, check out this thread for lots of info on filters:
