It will probably work just fine. The only problem you could run into is that if you go too big, the velocity of the air going over the spray bar gets so slow that you don't get a good, consistent fuel metering which makes tuning nearly impossible. I doubt 6.5mm would do that though, you would probably have to get over 7mm before that became a problem.
