balance tube between the carbs

Thanks, everyone for all of the great input and observations.  I'll definitely start with the simplest of solutions and suggestions, and go from there.

I did have the car tuned/adjusted for my elevation immediately after I first took delivery (@SactoMitch) and one of the things that we did then was to add a balance tube between the carbs. The local guys say that it's an absolute must in our thin air and it did in fact make a noticeable difference in how smoothly the car ran.

The 'Star Tron' gas treatment seems to be non-negotiable, and I will definitely make that part of the routine.

I get home tomorrow from a long, exhausting work trip and am SUPER anxious to get back to diddling with the Speedster to get this all sorted out! 

Wait! Did I say that? Correction!! What I meant to say was that "I'm super anxious to get home to the wife and kids . . . . . . .!!!!"

Hello Brent, what do you mean "add a balance tube between the carbs." I'm very interested what you find out and solution. I'll be moving to Prescott AZ in Feb 2020 and that area is 5k to 6k in elevation. I'm currently at sea level in SoCal and the VS engine has been jetted for that elevation- measly 190 ft. Thank you, Michael
