Seeking advice for a higher performance rebuild/modification Autolite 4100.

[cleandan]

Hey all, I have a couple Autolite 4100's (1.12) that have some corrosion issues in the venturies and butterfly seat areas....unfortunate, but what can I do now?

I am wondering if there are published methods, or other ways to take care of these issues while also increasing the CFM and performance capability of the carb?

For instance, can I do some type of bore clean up, sleeving, or other things to end with a good carb and increased CFM?
I'm thinking if I can attain 600-750 cfm in a carb that is tuned and runs right I would be good to go.

Basically I'm trying to find a way to repair the damaged carb while at the same time making it better for the engine being built.

What do you think?

the restriction in that carb is the booster flat dab blocking the air path . Mr.BP has said on here before that the trick is to raise the Booster with multiple (3,4 or5?) gaskets and then do whatever it takes to get the AF ratio back
