Just got the metering kit and put in the rods and springs and it runs like it should. Now I'm going to play with different rods and springs.

springs are depending on how much vacuum your engine makes. The strongest ones are for stock vac, weaker ones get swapped in as vac goes down. I think below 10" or so you need to go to a lighter spring.

The rod sizes are the first way to change rich/lean mid-throttle. If your plugs are white go a size smaller on the rods, if they are dark go a size bigger.

If you can't get them to be tan changing rods, then you need to change jets.
