There is a lot of wealth and knowledge here about these carbs.
I prefer the wet gauge as I feel it is the most accurate in comparison to the tool you mentioned. Just my opinion.
Keep in mind, these carbs are race carb for the track, if you are trying to tune for drivability then this will go beyond the steps of just following instructions. I have found that you will get very intimate with these carbs in order to tune them for spirt drivability and still have good drivability.
The journey is not short.

Question

Perhaps this is a dumb question, but does the wet gauge work with IDFs as well as the IDAs? Seems like it would...

I have been using a Carter Rotary Vane in line Fuel pump with my Weber setup. I also have used an Aeromotive ultra low pressure fuel pressure regulator #13222 which is very precise and stable, and worked withe a dead end setup. Remember that the Webers need about 0.3 Bar fuel pressure and the Holley does not do it right and output pressure starts to wander about after a while.

In case you might be interested I am selling my 8 Stack Weberv 48IDA intake for an FE engine , which includes the Carter electric fuel pump and the Aeromotive regulator. Look it up in the for sale section. Its yours for 3300€.

I’m sorry I do not know.
If it fits, I don’t see why not.
