I would take another look at the CFM... For racing applications, you want a higher flowing carb (my rule of thumb is cubic inches x 2 for 7000).
The formula I've seen is CI * RPM / 3456 * VE where VE is volumetric efficiency... we use about 85% for street cars and 110% for race cars.
I would use a 850cfm carb at the very least on your motor and a 950cfm would be better.
With 230cc heads, the carb is your bottle neck....
BTW: welcome aboard
Two cents,

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
