What's your source for saying it requires high carb diet to maximize gains? I think I did pretty well eating 20 grams a day.
I'm not disputing your gains.. Not at all..
Source?? Well it's pretty much common Bro-science.. I can do a search and find lots of carbs and SD in the same sentance all day long..
How about this for a quickie..

Anabolic Nutrition for Growth
A look into diets to maximize gains while taking SuperdrolTM
By Ryan Smith
Let’s face it, you bought this product because you want results, and Superdrol can provide them. As with every great supplement, your body will need proper nutrition to take full advantage of the power of Superdrol. The following recommendations are provided to help you, the consumer, take it to the next level, to get the most out of your Superdrol cycle. With the strongest supplement to hit the stores in years, and an equally effective diet, you will grow beyond what was thought possible.
A bodybuilding diet is not simple, nor is it something to take lightly if you are serious about massive gains in size and strength. The old ideal of eating everything in sight to gain weight is not the smart way to get big. Will it work? Yes, but this is not the best way to do it. You can gain the LBM (Lean Body Mass) without the unwanted fat. The key is not allowing yourself to go overboard with the amount of food you take in. Eat clean; which means stay away from nutritionally defunct foods like ice cream, and eat plenty of protein along with adequate amounts of complex carbohydrates. To figure out how many calories you need to bulk while taking Superdrol use the following:
Harris Benedict Formula (Basal Metabolic Rate)
BMR = 66 + (13.7 X weight in kilos) + (5 X height in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
1 inch = 2.54cm
1 kilogram = 2.2lbs
To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, most individuals will have light to moderate activity levels.
• If you are Sedentary - little or no exercise = BMR X 1.2
• If you are Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) = BMR X 1.375
• If you are Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) = BMR X 1.55
• If you are Very Active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/week) = BMR X 1.725
• If you are Extra Active (very hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training) = BMR X 1.9
After figuring your BMR add an extra 500 calories a day in complex carbohydrate/protein rich foods.
An ideal percentage to use for the diet is 40/40/20. That is 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat. Below is a sample bulking diet for a 6 foot 200 pound male using the formulas provided; with nutritionally dense foods, and adequate amounts of complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Superdrol allows for a higher carbohydrate, and protein rich diet since it is so potent with energy storage. Users have reported that hunger increases almost immediately after starting Superdrol. This diet is based around the use of Superdrol, with key meals in certain places to allow for the best benefits from this supplement.
Age: 25
Height: 6 feet
Weight: 200lbs
BMR: 3690 total calories
(66 + (1247) + (915) – (170) = 2058 cal x 1.55 = 3190 cal + 500 cal = 3690 total calories)
To gain body weight, you must consume more calories than you burn. One pound of body weight is equivalent to 3500 calories, so eating an extra 500 calories per day will allow for gaining one pound a week. If gains stall, DO NOT increase the dose at first, but simply add in another 100 calories per day, and then assess from there. These numbers are not fixed; you should add more calories on days that you are more active, like leg day.
Daily Bulking Diet

1 multigrain bagel
1 serving of bran cereal
8oz skim milk
¼ cup of low fat cheese
Meal 2

Water consumption should accompany every meal, and throughout the day. Try to get at least a gallon in every day, especially around workouts. As you can see the Superdrol is based around your largest protein/carb meals for the day. The second dose is also taken before your workout for the best benefit.
Although Superdrol is best used for bulking, it can be used in a cutting cycle with the proper diet.. Again, what follows is a diet for a 6 foot, 200 pound male on a cutting cycle of Superdrol.
In order to lose fat while cutting you must consume less calories than you burn. This can be achieved in several different ways; the one I will demonstrate maintains high protein intake, and moderate carbohydrates. This time however, because Superdrol will allow the user some leeway, we will actually drop calories as needed from fat, and very little from the carb/protein meals. You never want to lose over two-three pounds a week, and three is pushing it. When lowering calories, your glycogen storage is depleted. The good news is that while taking Superdrol this depletion can be limited. Superdrol has an immense effect upon the body’s glycogen storage; in fact it is quite incredible how powerful it is at keeping energy stores. Keeping protein levels high is very important in staving off muscle loss. The fact that carbohydrates are kept at a moderate level allow for a much easier way to cut. Again these numbers are not fixed; they should fluctuate from day to day depending on your activity. For example on leg day you may want to have some fruit during your workout for energy, Gatorade is another option. Keep simple carbohydrates intake, like sugar, as low as possible.

Another key player in the fat loss diet is cardiovascular exercise. I know, we all dread it, but it must be done. A simple way to determine the amount of cardio you need to burn fat, while not burning up muscle, is the following formula. This formula is used to determine how many Beats Per Minute (BMR) your heart rate needs to be in for fat loss.
220 - (Your age) x 65%-75%
Low-intensity cardiovascular exercise (65-75% max heart rate) for 45-60 minutes per session is ideal. If you choose to do cardio after weight training keep it to 30 minutes. On leg days there is no need for cardio.
Example of a 6 foot male 200 pounds
220 – 25 = 195 x .65 = ~127 BPM. At 75% it would be, ~146 BPM
Target this BPM and duration three – four days a week.
