so, I've signed up to go to the test and tune autocross day down at maxton next Sunday. figured it would be a good day to get to know my car as it sits, before i start making suspension changes that it may or may not need.
i do, however, know that my 750 edelbrock performer carb is going to need dialed in. reading through all my carter tuning stuff, throttle response and turning are never really mentioned. i know with holleys, if you're pulling some good lateral G's, you need some special floats. what float setting should i be running in the eddy?
how about throttle response? right now, its pretty soggy and boggy. i know that my metering rods and step up springs need some tweaking, and that is in order this week. but what else?
in other words, what general tune up should i do to this thing for autocross/motor sports usage?
thanks
Michael

Run the floats way up to keep fuel in the bowls. With that performer, you may get in trouble fast, since you are filling both bowls from one side. Edelbrocks, by their own admission are not good for side to side stuff.
