Your 8 initial is likely half of what you need.
I run stock motors at 14 initial here at sea level.
Eddy carbs and their ancestors (the afb) never like more than 5 psi. Don't worry, you won't run out of fuel. I ran a pair on a dual quad that had 2 psi at wot at 120 mph and never ran out of fuel.
Where in Alabama do you live?
Your elevation and ambient temperature effect how your motor runs.

I'm about 50-60 miles as the crow flies inland from the coast.
Any more initial and it runs significantly hotter. I may be leaving a little bit on the table, or a drunk could have marked the balancer and in reality it's set on kill. Either way it's usually well mannered and has no issue getting out of its on way.
