If your fuel pump puts out slightly more pressure, Nopeor your LSA is different, it's all out the door. And you are now a pioneer, despite the thousands of blown SBFs that came before you.
Basically, a carb is nothing more than a metering device. You can place well tuned carb on one car, then another, and it will be real close. AFR is AFR, whether it be a Chevy or a lawnmower. That is what wet flow bench calibration is all about. If you and your buddies carb are that different, onbe is f----d up.
