Are you thinking of keeping it for Sunday best and putting on a Vac Secondary for ordinary wear ?
Can you be ar$ed to change it regularly at the Strip?

Well these are the things to be considered Pete. I drive the car a lot on the street.
Fuel to Stratford this weekend... ?60
Fuel at the race meet............... ?40
Fuel from stratford................... ?60
Can't moan about fuel consumption at the track. But on the street!

I use one on the street
not sure if its an 850 or 950
the nats cost me a sight more than that in gas, I drove it to scotland a couple of weeks later and to the supernats at old warden
Do you want to run 11's in street trim or just say " it runs 11's if I change all this stuff"
Get dave to come down and tune it

Jeff your stupid fuel consumption is due in part to the fact you are not running on the idle circuits at all and partly because the whole carb is rich as hell.
Keep the 850DP as it is a good carb for your combination.
I run a 950cfm triple pumper on the street and it uses half the fuel of your 850 with only two squirters.
