So did you actually test it??

The rear hasn't been acting up since I installed the new engine.. I still don't want to risk racing or driving hard with the current rear end...
I'll have to wait until I'll get the 12-bolt setup... Hopefully, that'll be soon..
I had my roommate check on the carb if it was WOT when I floored the gas pedal...

Awesome, now you'll be going somewhere. Little problems like that can be really annoying.

The stock throttle assembly works OK. I'll bet all you needed to do was to tighten the nut down on the floor board behind the gas pedal. My 3X2 was doing the same thing and once I tightened the nut, it worked as it should. The nut took about 1.5 or 2 turns and that made all the difference.
