hard starting poor running 454

ok so as always when i mess with a carb stuff dies well... i done it again

so the 454 in the doolly was running rich and its running a edlebrock q jet 600 cfm i think (it was on the truck when i bought it) in my opinon this carb sucks

so i went to playing with the idel mixture and i went 2 and 1/2 turns out on each side, barly runs. then 3 1/2 turns better, then 4 and it runs but now its kinda skipping and the passenger side of the motor is running rich eny tips for a non big block guy this is starting to make me mad
