350 SBC 6-71 Blower Carburetor Adjustments
Hi,
I have a 350 SBC with a Weiand 6-71 supercharger that I am trying to get fine tuned.
Firstly, some specs about the motor:
-Stock short block (I know, will be replaced this winter)
-AFR 195 heads

-COMP XE-284H camshaft
12-250-3 - XTREME Energy
-Brawler 650 supercharger carburetors

I have an AFR gauge installed, and it was reading very rich (i.e.: saturated at 10.0) under load. I have adjusted the carburetor main and secondary jets from 68 / 76 to 64 / 72. For the most part, this looks to have leaned out the motor correctly. all eight carburetor idle mixture screws are set at 1 full turn out.
Where I am now having an issue is with the following symptoms:
-hunting idle. The truck seems to hunt between 700-1000RPM now, which did not happen before when I had the carburetors in their stock configuration. Does this have to do with how I have set the idle mixture screws? I wouldn't think this would be affected by the re-jetting.
-slight stumble between idle and off idle. It almost feels like a misfire, but I have confirmed there is no ignition issues. What could be the problem here?
I am fairly new to carburated motors, but am keen to learn how to tune these things.
Thanks everyone, any help is greatly appreciated.

In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
