Looking for recommendations on setting up the aftermarket Carter TQ 9800s carb. This a GM style throttle bracket, non-EGR carb with the electric choke setup.

I picked up a NOS piece, have it apart right now. I'm very familiar with these carbs, what I am looking for are specific hints/tips on how the 9800 series setups may be different from a typical TQ carb. This is the first 9800 series carb that I am working with.

Carb has 0.095 primary jets, 0.137 secondary and 2110 rods. This is going on a 360 motor, about 400hp, nothing crazy, a mild small block. Motor is running a Hughes 3844 hydraulic cam (238/244 dur @.050, .515/.536 lift), 108 LSA. Heads flow 262 @ .550, using Performer RPM intake with an adapter plate (spreadbore to squarebore). 3000 stall converter, 727 tarns, 3.91 SG rear end in my M-body coupe.

Thanks!
