I'm not sure exactly what you are asking?

In any case, the large main airbleed Chevy q-jets are very difficult to tune, especially with modern fuel blends on high performance applications.  We have had excellent success installing the smaller main airbleeds, and our custom jet/metering rod set-ups. 

Basically, the large main airbleeds add too much emulsion air to the main system, and require HUGE main jets and very small metering rods to get a decent fuel curve.  They still don't work nearly as well as when the smaller main airbleeds are installed right from the start......Cliff

Adding different blends of ethanol are going to require recalibration of the carburetor, since the ethanol does not contain as much energy as gasoline......Cliff

1.5 rockers on your exhaust will help torque at all rpm.  The Air Gap intake will also make more torque and horsepower at any rpm above idle on you engine!!
