Carb tuning, larger accelerator pump nozzle?

My thoughts..
It's a stick car, so he should be 28-31 on the shooter aka shouldn't need a huge shot like an auto car... maybe red cam on 2...and he start dialing the PV if he hasn't already to cure the leanness into the mains as the throttle is opened beyond idle oriface.

From Dano's description I think the problem is before he gets the throttle even that far open.
@dano You killing me. Spill the beans on what you're doing when this dead spot occurs.
My cousin had an old truck that could be put into without any throttle! I'm betting with your setup its a little different. But this whole question about what circuits are in play can be narrowed down if we have a sense of how much throttle, rpm, and load (gear).
