I know how you are feeling right now. Thest things seem 360 degrees out from every thing you have experienced before. Go on line and google "factory pro" this old guy has a compleate guide on how to adj your carbs. We have a dyno now and it has helped a lot in tuning however before the dyno we used an old country rd. A dyno is nothing more than a road with a modest hill in it. that adds the resistance you want. What you would do is place your car in the gear you will be racing in probably second or third aproach the hill at the speed you line up a race in and when you get to the hill floor it, and note what areas or good and what areas are not so good go back to factory pro and read, make adjustments then do it again.
good luck
