> Greg, I am not a scientist or engineer, but have a rudimentary or slightly
more understanding of how the carbs work, you are right more air flow should
raise the piston.  Normally a higher piston means less cross section of the
needle blocking the gas flow from the jet, so more gas more air more power....
However you said more vacuum, wouldn't the vacuum in fact be less, because it
wouldn't be sucking from the engine, well it still would but it would be
pushing air through as well, and maybe a push doesn't suck the gas up as well
as regular manifold vacuum, therefore  (someone who knows more may confirm
this??? or tell me I am koo koo) a lean condition results instead of more
power, along with the possibility of holed pistons and such nastiness as has
been mentioned as the result of rm air to an SU by other listers.
