What I have done is switched to blp titanium n&s for all my builds. The .140 is perfect for e85 carbs. That is what I use on the majority of builds. I will go bigger when the demand is there for carbs over 1250 and up.

I am having the same dang thing happening with my quickfuel 950, thats why I was thinking about letting you do my dominator at some point. can you explain lapping them in? are you talking about the needle and seat bore?

With the 160 I wouldn't think you would need much over 5.5psi. Unless fuel demand are extremely high on your combo. With the 140 I normally run 6-6.5lbs at the most.
