Do you have the dyno sheet on how the curve looks like with the F14 tube?
I do not know what the F15 will do. But from what you say right now the F14 is the best combination with only the lean top end to be taken care of. The only way to correct that now is with the air jet.Try the smaller air jet before doing anything else.
If you can get a smaller drill than .80, say 0.50 I would try that too. You can always keep enlarging the hole if you overshoot on top end richness.
Will try first with modify air jet and start at 0.50 and up and up to get perfect air/fuel ratio around 12/8,13.2.all around.
Dyno sheet shows around 15/20 more HP between 3200/4600 ,during dyno session between F14 and F16 ,(engine is a full race 289 for historic racing)
