weber carb setup - confusing

I've been messing with the Dave Andrews carb jetting program.

I have a 2.0L zetec running on twin 45 webers.

The are currently set up as follows:

idle jets 50f9
main jets 155
emulsion tubes F11
chokes 36mm

Using Dave's program a 2000cc engine with peak power at 6000rpm could use 36mm chokes for max power or 34mm chokes for best flexibility. (I have both sizes)

Looking at the rest of the stuff, the idle jets, I have look OK, the emusion tubes also look OK too.

The main jets (155) however do look a little large (Dave recommends 145 for power and 140 for flexibility.)

Anyone got any opinions with regard to the setup.

The car is not a race car and will see probably 80% road and 20% track day use.

thanks

yup I know,

but being as I have a box of spare bits I thought I could find some sort of reasonable starting place. The engine currently starts and runs, but I won't be getting it to the rolling road before the SVA (hopefully early in the New Year).

thanks
