TinInjun:

Close, but it will take a more accurate description of the problem before I give any answers.

Hint: Why is it difficult to tune for fuel economy in a Holley? Independent of street, race, or street strip.

Also, some Holley & Demon carbs come with a partial solution in the form of increased adjustability of various air bleeds and such...however, the main problem has still not been addressed in the basic design.
