Re: hard starting with new Edelbrock when warm

Is the choke plate open when it is warm? If not, then the choke is not working and it needs to be fixed/replaced. When you pump the gas, you are actually opening the butteflies and allowing more air to enter, which is what the engine needs when warm. A warm engine should not need to be pumped to start up. However, when the engine is cold the choke plate needs to be closed, which explains why your cold starting is great. A closed choke plate will also kill your power. The cfm is fine for your engine and should not be a source of your "stab it" power issues.
