If you supply some more carb specs,size,venturies,air correctors,idle jets and fuel pressure you will easily find a solution on here,there is no magic solution "out of the box" or if you have bought the car with them on you have no idea what the PO has done.
Pics also would help...we like pics on here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) .
