Will this make a difference in how fast the bowl fills up with fuel.....its possible,but would it effect preformance say in a hard 2nd gear pull?

I think that the smaller opening would have to make a difference. I think that it would have the same effect as haveing the float set too low. This could cause the engine to be starving for more fuel. I've found that a too low float setting will cause spitting , back firing and loss of power.
