R either of you running much above sea level? Holley recommends dropping 1-2 jet sizes for each 1,000 feet above sea level...thinner air at altitude requires less gas to get a good atomization.

No, I'm at anywhere from 500' to about 900' depending on where I am in town.

Not enough in either place to mess with re-jetting for altitude...I think Big D is about 700-800 ft. above sea level.
