My 86 has a shaved head and cylendar bringing the squish down to about .060, which seems to have improved power but I need to get more gas into the bowl. It will run fine forever at low to mid rpm but when I rev it out I get about 1/2 mile before it starts to sputter. If I idle for a few minutes I can do this again and the plug looks good so how do I go about getting more gas in, and how will I know if I go too far and am getting too much?

your petcock needs cleaned or the float needs adjusted

agree'd! take the time and inspect the entire fuel delivery, from the tank down. and verify the float level and adjust if needed.
