she ran good with great out of whole punch and a good puff of smoke after a 6sec idle to wfo.... should i drop all 3 alum shoes in or go back to all 3 stock carbon shoes.

or is it a tune issue...
i can get a vid maybe...
i will say the go carbs (unless fixed) leave a little room for improvement .

so hard to say as there are many variables but usually a tad lean on low if after full throttle applied and engine revs up a little then idles normal in less than 3-4 seconds . if the engine idles up and then has a nice blubbery sounding idle for more than 3-4 sec. then it is usually rich with too large of an idle gap . too lean lsn leaves engines with tingy sounding idle and usually minor lean bog when running unless overcompensated with richer than normal hsn . like i said , could be one of many things though . like said before , sticky carb or linkage .
