So, answer may be: change the -6 lines to something bigger and move the regulator up to the carb end of the -10 line.

This has gotten complicated, sorry I didn't make myself clear: I posted to help shelby racer; my car runs fine. Let's change my -6 and -10 designations to their fractional equivalents. I have two separate pumps from the tank, each feeding 3/8" diameter lines, which converge into one 1/2" diameter line. My two 3/8" lines are roughly the equivalent of one 3/4" line, making the 1/2" line the restriction, but it flows plenty for my engine. From the regulator I again have two 3/8" diameter lines, one going to each carb.

Me too. It's like having my very own personal black hole, sucking money out of my wallet.  However, I have no desire (or enough courage?  ) to stop. I'm always looking at "improvements" or merely changes. It's truly a disease with no known cure.
