I went drag racing!

I'd say
Work on your driving; improving you're off the line and experiment a bit with shift points.

Then do some tuning on the carb's WOT.
There's 3 things to adjust so do one at a time.
There's no magic number. Make a change and see what happens. If it improves, great. make another change in the same direction. If it no improvement, then try a change in the other direction.
