Default 75 vette, losing power

My 1975 corvette has a ZZ4 Crate engine 350CI, 355hp with aluminum heads (2000 miles) and a Edelbrock 600 cfm 4 barrel carburetor (300miles). If I accelerate at a reasonable pace, the vehicle move fast and smooth, however, if I floor the accelerator at start or during cruising, the engine floods and the vehicle loses power - I have to release the gas pedal to regain speed - have I mismatched the carburetor and the engine? - any other Ideas?

Sounds somewhat like my problem with my '74, only everything is stock in mine. Try this thread:
