I am aware of the spring loaded needle and seat assembly. I will try that, if lowering the floats does not help. I haven't seen anything about spring loaded floats. If this is something other than the spring loaded needle and seat assembly, please post a link to the item, Thanks!
I don't think it is a fuel starvation problem, as it only occurs during hard right hand turns. By hard, I mean harder than anyone would "reasonably" see during street driving. Hard left turns are no problem. I could induce power oversteer at will during left turns, but hard right turns was like the key was turned off.
I believe the problem to be related to the floats being a tad too high. The Edelbrock carb is not often used in applications that would have the fuel sloshing towards the "front" of the carb, while attempting to accelerate. Normally, this carb would only see this fuel slosh condition under hard braking, where the throttle is fully closed.
Having 200K+ miles on the stock springs also allows the car to lean quite a bit, which likely adds to the problem.
