OK, Ive got one Patrick set up for street for me, but it's a bastardized deal. I'm no expert but.. let me ask a few questions
Is the 8896 a soft (progressive) linkage? If not I think you will have nothing but headaches.

Is the primary set up with a power valve?

I'm looking for my holley listing and will be able to tell you what the factory jetting was. That's always a good starting point

edit FOUND IT
Both the 8896 and 8896-1 was jetted square with 88's front and rear.

I think the primary metering block is set up so you can use a power valve in the front. I'd sure try that will let you drop the primary down 8 jet sizes or so and maybe be a bit more streetable.
Hope that helps
