I must have confused your car with another one on this site that has an automatic.
Enlarging the main jet air corrector jet retards the main jet transition. I think that one of the S&S videos mentions it also leans out the main jet. My plan of attack is to leave the main jet very rich which allows me to see its transition more clearly. Currently, the transition appears to be early and abrupt. The last tuning sessions will be leaning out the main jet.Bill,
Sounds like you are gaining on it. How do you "adjust" the RPM where the carb transitions from the intermediate to the main jet?

The balance between the main, and air correction jet, creates a mixture vs airflow curve. If the air correction jet is smallish, the curve get richer at max flow; if it is large-ish, you get some high speed leaning. I like a little leaning at high speed. It sounds like you are getting close to good drivability.Enlarging the main jet air corrector jet retards the main jet transition.
