This carb and most others are originally calibrated for peak HP at a certain RPM. The only way to increase the power is to increase the air flow and recalibrate the main jet accordingly. It would be a difficult task if you wanted to open up the venturi's to get the extra flow. I would recommend a Rochester 2gc that has the same bolt pattern to increase air flow and performance.
