The limiting factor on an HS6 will always be the 1 3/4" diameter, the HS8 will give that vital extra 1/4" diameter or you could opt for twin carbs of a Weber 38DGV conversion which is in effect twin HS4s in terms of flow area but are easier to alter the jetting.

What other mods have you done to the engine?
Not looking to change the carb! I have the current Stromberg carb in the car setup really well and it goes very well. I’m just wanting to experiment with the strombergs and see if they are capable of more power/torque, just tinkering for my own education. I have a few spare strombergs. I’m just wanting to know if anyone else has done the mods or anything similar.
