Ok,
I have a 2dr 67 galaxie 500 with a 390. I just had the original 2v carb and intake swapped for a 4b edlebrock and high pro intake manifold. He re-jetted the carb and tweaked it as good as he could. He said it was hard to get it perfect because it is so cold here right now. Anyways when i get on the gas hard i here a click and there is a delay like im not even on the gas then it reacts and takes off-my problem is that i am going to race it this spring/summer and that delay will kill me-so what might be the problem? Thanks!

How big is your carb? Is your motor built? Although 390 is a big block, stock motor ususlly works around 500 to 600 cfm range at the most. You might be flooding it. Try it with smaller jets.

if the cam is bad, it'll make a snapping sound when you give er. but if the cam is good , then the guy who did your carb f-ed up. cause that engine can handle well over a 600cfm, even stock. other then that , all i can say is check your timming again.
