Dual quads versus big hammer!!!...

Again from that dual quad Edelbrock tuning article the guy put staggered metering rods in the carburetors. He had the same Idol step in all four rods but the front rods had a fatter step..
I currently have the smallest Jets I can put in the primaries... I feel the Orange Springs are pretty much the ticket and they seem to be operating as they should..
The fatter rods comes and equal increments as I've said before. The factory rods are 60-52 and I bought the 62-54 which are in there now and I have the 64-56 rods as well.. no matter which one of those rods I put in there I still have to turn the idle mixture screws into about 1 turn out...
So to follow along with that article and staggering the rods I went ahead and ordered a set of 58-44 rods and a set of 58-50 rods..
I'll be interested to see how those narrow second steps react. It was my mind to try and clip the bottom of the rods to get more fuel at step up... I don't know if I wasn't seeing these for whatever reason because I was looking for fatter rods or they just popped up on Summit as another option... I remember there being about six or seven variations of their rods and now there seems to be about 11..
I called the Holley tech line this morning and confirmed that they did send the rear air doors out and they should be here Friday. When they sent the wrong Parts out last week I had all kinds of ship dates and notices and this time nothing so I wanted to make sure they were coming..
One more thing about that article with the guy tuning the dual quad Edelbrocks... He was adamant that this was not going to be a quick process but one that could take quite some time to get sorted out but with patience would be...
I feel I'm somewhere in the middle ground but definitely heading in the right direction and feel confident that this will get sorted out with some more time...
I'm slowly creeping up on the amount of money I would have spent buying two complete tune-up kits but again those tune up kits wouldn't have had half the parts that I'm using...
