91 w/ Carb Question

I just bought a 91 Firebird 5.0 w/ a carb and i have two questions. First, when i have started it after driving, it cranks slowly and seems like the battery is dead, but then it suddenly starts. Is this a carburator thing? Also the car seems to shift too soon at WOT, especially as speed increases. Thanks
