I will contact Holley for the sets of jets.

Alright, point taken. Whenever something is misbehaving, and you can't figure out why, it never hurts to just take it apart and put it back together. I will say that my TP (which is removable) shaves a significant amount of heat off my engine in around-town driving. I did not realize how much until I took it off to do something last summer and drove it around a bit with the pan off. I initially thought there was something wrong with the car as the temps were about 10-12 degrees Celsius higher than normal and the car felt different off-idle. TPs really do make a difference (in addition to looking cool).
