Re: carb tuning question

I pulled up the instruction sheet and it has a pretty good section on setting the idle mixture screws. http://documents.holley.com/hr_slaye...ons_rev._1.pdf

There are a lot of tuning points on that carb that may affect the off idle transition including the choice of air bleeds. It seems to be infinitely adjustable in the right hands.

Still you are back to basic carburetor theory and how each circuit of the carb works at what time under what conditions. Meaning is the going lean condition at an off idle point of mild acceleration, is it under hard acceleration or is it at higher road speeds?
