I've used all kinda sizes/brands on cars over the years. BG and

Dominator that summit swapped out at no charge). The only carb that
didn't work extremely well was a predator...looked cool but I couldn't
get it tuned properly. Every carb comes with a disclaimer "some
tuning required" will be located somewhere on the packaging or sales
material.
smaller carbs will have better signal and drive-ability but a well
tuned big carb may provide more power. I loved running 11's with my
700holley DP..most streetable carb I ever owned. Next best carb was a
Carb Shop modded 850....
Check the timing, tune,jetting, and plugs. Make sure there isn't any
dirt in the air bleeds as well.

Fred, may I suggest you send the carb, whatever you
have, to the carb shop in California? Include all your
specific engine/drive train information, weight and
such and have them "flow" the carb. At least you will
know the problem is not the carb after that.
Hope this helps

Thanks to all for your input. I still don't know
what I will do, but
I'm going to begin by checking out other settings
which might affect
performance, like timing.
Thanks,
