Change the springs. Get a spring that matches the cam and/or from a major cam company. Comp, Crower, Isky, Lunati, etc. GM does not fall in that list. Get Comp 986 springs. Or, if you don't feel like having the spring seats cut, Isky makes a 235-D springs, which is very similar in specs to the 986, but it fits the factory seat.

cause i got it for cheap. you don't think the 750 is over doing it do you? and also i like vacum secondarys alot more for being a streetale car. scnince they don't just dump gas in at certine throtel it relies on vacum and that is created at rpm. so much nicer in my mind

It's not too big.

It is possible for a VS to open at less throttle than a DP will. That's because the VS opens based on primary flow (not RPMs). It's typically worse with an undersized or very close to minimum-sized VS carb, admittedly.

VS will take longer to close than DP. It can feel pretty weird if you're not used to it.

The q-jet air valve and the Holley/Demon vacuum secondary operate on completely different principles. I went from q-jet to 750 Holley VS on the 396 - it was that transition that "surprised" me for the effect mentioned.

You should be in the 400+ range torque and HP wise.
