Low speed torque and driveability ?
He didn't have the depth - that's the problem. If I had known enough to pick up on his misunderstanding...
Some of it was the limitation of his knowledge at the time, and some of it was the limitations of the publications he wrote for. I am a lot more cautious now and sift carefully. There's a difference between something working in one situation, or couple, and beleiving versus knowing that it can be generalized to a class of situations.
Don't get me wrong. I like those books and I agree they are worth reading.

Vizard is a great writer. His info is pretty good.
But be careful. If you are not careful, sometimes trying to follow him will take you down a rabbit hole.
Mine was a long and somewhat expensive journey.
Eventually I learned what was real, what was applicable to the situations/carbs I was working with, and therefore my mistakes were a part of learning.
But it all started with trying to do some of the things suggested in Vizard's How to Build Horsepower V2
