Oh my does it ever go

Pretty quiet too, 10" of braided flex, 2 bottles and an used dynomax muffler of the donor rx7. 2.25" pipe straight shot under the rear end and put the muffler on it's side so the inlet is low and the outlet is in the stock spot under the bumper (larger profile tires than an rx7)

I'll get some pictures soon

Incorrect.

When the engine is running, and you blip the secondaries open, can you see fuel spraying out? If yes, your secondary linkage is sticky. If no fuel, it's time for a rebuild.
Incorrect.

The farthest left port where the idle altitude comp valve was should be plugged.

Yeah I realized that the other day when I rebuilt the carb... put my lips on that port and sure enough it goes some where.... 'tis plugged now.

Sterling, I unplugged that bowl vent and just left it open what should I do with it?

Plug it. The vent is on the inside of the air horn.
It'll be fine as long as you have the Float Bowl Vent Solenoid hooked up to an ingition-switched 12V+.
