Default Float adjust help

A long time ago I posted that my car would die or lose power during a hardish turn. For example a U turn.

It has carter afb / edelbrock performer series 600.

I had pulled the carb apart to adjust floats but found they were NOT in the factory recommended position. I put them in the correct level so they hang open and lay closed at the recommended distances.

If the car is bogging down during a turn do I want less or more fuel in the bowls?

What else may cause this besides float level... I guess I could attempt to watch air/fuel ratio as I make the turn but it happens quite fast.

Thanks
