Congrats ? was it fun ? are you hooked ?
It's nice not to have to look over your shoulder for "the man" aint it.
 
Part number for the Carter "Super Street" pump is M6906.
About $70 + ship from Jegs or Summit.
RobbMC sells an even better pump, don't know price.
An old racers trick is to tie a wrag around the pump and soak with water
to keep it cooler and help to prevent vapor lock.
Has the dizzy been re-curved to allow ~36 total advance by about 2500-3000 ?

Hate to say it, but for the gears you're running the short times are in the toilet. You need to get a good converter.

Are you having some issue with your brakes? You shouldn't be slipping/redlighting.

I'd guess that 401 with stock converter is "skooting" the front tires  Shocked
