have the 0-6 needle jet in.
plan on trying the p-2 with current needle height to see if that changes it anymore, but have a feeling ill be looking into another needle or trying to raise it more.
calling sudco they stated theirs not another needle, i know looking in the catalog that their is no richer or leaner needles in 6dj30 needle series, its a stand alone needle, but surely another 6 series needle may be compareable ?
well try the other needle jet i have first though.

i would think its time to increase the needle jets size. this will allow u to drop the needle and give u room to work up more if necessary. 
i think u would only change a needle, if u wanted a dif shape of taper.

If you still need more fuel look into the needles on this page or larger needle jets. This thing is an oddball if there ever was one.

Letters going toward A are leaner.
Letters going toward Z are richer.
2 letters = dual taper
