This probably causing more headaches than you realize.
Fuel mix should be steady throughout the full load, wide open throttle. In other words, 3 (or 4th gear) pedal to the metal.
Smaller carb will help fuel distribution. Larger carb has potential for higher top speed (more hp) at the 1/4 mile, and a fraction off the e.t. if fuel distribution is good.
See above comments.
