Sounds like a tuning issue more than a cfm issue. Even with too big/too small of a carb, the vehicle shouldn't run rough (unless it's grossly misproportioned.) with proper tuning. Make sure the timing is set properly and all the circuits/linkages in the carb are operating correctly.

Is it a blow through carb set-up (Centrifugal blower) or a draw through (Roots style blower)?
