Sorry it took so long to catch back up on this. The side pivot floats are at a disadvantage in handling turning loads - but they should be more than good in acceleration and stopping.

Oval track guys do sme interesting float modifications - angled cuts and then resealing with epoxy on nitrophyl floats. I do not know what impact that would have in a road race environment but it would be inexpensive to experiment. Some of the angled floats are available commercially for the center pivot carbs - but nothing I am aware of for side pivots.
