who did your carb?
in some dominator cases I may use a .150 needle and seat, but its rare....depending on who did your carb you may actually have a "methanol" carb that has been de-tuned for E85...in which case the fuel curve will be all over the place.

You can probably get by with the -6 if you want to change it, but -8 won't hurt anything either.
