lag on the throttle

i have an 86 z28. i just dropped a 350 out of a 90 vettein the car. the newer engine had F.I. on it but i changed it to carb and strapped on a mechanical fuel pump(stock). i recently also put on a dynomax cat-back exhaust.
my problem is that when the rpm's are lowin 1200 or lower and put the peddel to the floor the car bucks forward and builds up rpm's before im put back in my seat? i have no idea what to do, can anyone help?
this really sucks because i cant get a decent burn out and my acceleration sucks so im at a loss.
