Default Thunderjet tunning? Need help

Ok so I have searched and cannot find what I'm looking for so I thought id ask you guys. I got a super g with a thunderjet on a twin cam 95" build with redshift cams. I can't figure out how to "tune" or adjust this carb. All the other s&s carbs I've messed with I just lean to a stumble and richen to a stumble and set it right in the middle. Now if I do this with this carb with the thunderjet I keep getting this pop thru the carb when I'm slowing down to a stoplight or sitting at a stoplight. If I richen it up then it sometimes pours gas out the front of the carb. So I dunno. Hope you guys can help out.

You may have an air leak between carb and one of the heads, causing the popping. It's worth ensuring things are OK there before changing the carb settings.

Sounds a tick lean.
May want to bump the pilot jet up 1 size, but if it was dyno tuned, by someone that KNOWS those, your woes would be over.
