QuickFuel 880 Surging/Missing At Wide Open Throttle

Went for a rip last night with the 79's in the primary's, and found that it cleaned up quite a bit, So I went back to the 78's that I had issue with the first go around and fully expected it to be hard starting and backfire through the exhaust again. It didn't and fired right up, idled fine and actually is the best its ever been with only a slight miss/surge while driving at 3000 rpm and WOT.
I'm thinking that my issue this whole time has been carb related and have managed to fine tune my ignition but I don't think it has been the issue. When I removed the stock jets (80's primary, 86's secondary) and put in the 78's and 84's I must have done something wrong when putting the primary side back together.
Question is now........do I go even a little leaner on the primary's to a 77 jet?
Also, maybe this line of questioning is more suited for the Fuel and Air forum?
