Not to sound like a dick, but why are you running a carburetor if you have no idea how they operate? You need to seriously go out and get a carburetor book from Barns n Noble and understand how a Holley works. A carbureted car will never run right unless you tune the carb to do so. And you can destroy an engine if you're badly tuned.
As far as your problem, the accelerator pump delivers fuel as you open the throttle, it's operated by a plastic cam screwed onto the throttle linkage. Make sure it's all working properly and try a bigger cam. If the pump shot is too lean then you can get carb backfires when you hit the throttle.

Best trap 107.11mph, we'll see what the new intake/carb setup does.
12.80 at 110.5mph NHRA DA corrected
With the car OFF look down the barrels of the carb. Press the accelerator back and look for a small but strong stream of fuel coming from the squirters at the top of the venturies. Depending how your carb is set up the rears will follow quickly
