Start the motor, loosen the screws, fatten it up until it surges, then lean it back out just until the surging stops.
As for plumbing.... See below.

Once you get it set the only change you should make all year is a pill change from hot to cold or cold to hot weather ??
I run return straight to top of fuel cell, crank trigger MSD.

I take it you don't own a weather station.

My buddy has just added one and I figured I'd ask. He is going to start out with the smallest pill and go from there. His EGT's on a couple of cylinders were down to around 300 still ran 6.52 @209 in the 1/4.
I think it was a 4.19 in the 1/8 on a not the greatest track..his 60' was off from .980's to 1.0's. so Hopefully with more seat-time in the car and the high speed lean-out can go 6.40's or better..

Should help him setup the high speed if he knows what he's looking at.
