Shaving the head raises compression. Yes, the head is closer to the valves, thus the need to cut a relief. As far as the carb goes......lets go with bigger is not always better.
That is it in a nutshell. The larger venturi on the carb reduces the velocity of the air rushing into the cylinder so it does not fill as efficiently. He'd make better power with the #26 carb.
