With the SU's with the 3 screw tops we ended up with one pivoting at the
front and another at the back. Any other orientation resulted in
weirdness after hard braking, right when you want to stomp the gas.
Another vote against grose jets, they couldn't handle hardly any fuel
pressure and the stock needle valves did great under up to 7 psi (more
than we wanted, but fighting the doggone regulators).

Yup.
<div>Had that problem. Floats must â??faceâ?? fore and aft, meaning
the pivot points across the car. WIth pivots at an angle to the
car we first tried to overcome the apparent starvation in turns
by increasing the fuel pressure, which just made things worse.
Fuel pressure at 2 1/2 psi and fore/aft floats works well.</div>
