SU needle selection

I would like to try some different needles in my carbs. Is there a good method to search the needle data base? I would like to get something richer in the 3 to 4K engine speed. The needle measurements seem to wander all over the place on the needle tables. Today I drove it 50 miles and this was the first real road miles since 1971. Now I have to learn to shift gears and not have the car deviate from its straight course. I had forgotten how sensitive the steering is.
