Maybe so, but Peyote and my TR3 both ran really ratty with anything over
four pounds. I dialed it back to three and everything got sweet. I think
the problem could be worse in a race car vs. street. I don't think the
float valve acts like an on/off valve when the throttle is WFO at high
speed--more likely it modulates because the level is being constantly and
rapidly drawn down. But whatever works, works.

I've been talking to some people about fuel pressure on Webers and they
tell
me to only worry about keeping the pressure @ 3lbs if you have a street
car.
The high pressure is probably not causing a float bounce or problem at
high
speeds.
