I had thought about this myself. From what I gather, simply swapping to larger carbs will just use more fuel without making more power. However, I've made the following engine mods so far:

Intake Trumpets
Fast Road 83 Cam (280)
Full Race manifold(24 inch primaries) and straight-through exhaust
Kenlowe fan (removed the mechanical fan)
13 Row Oil Cooler

I knew that with those mods I should probably be changing the needles in the HS2's, but a friend offered me the inlet manifold off a 1500 spit, with a set of HS4's to go with it. Since I'm on a tight budget, that seemed like a possible alternative to new needles since it would allow more air & fuel flow, especially at higher revs when the cam kicks in.
