Re: Using a carb that’s too big?
I remember talking to a guy who had a 302 built and dyno tested by Superior Automotive here in So Cal (a very good shop). They tried several different carbs from 600 to 830 cfm on the 302 which had Edelbrock RPM heads. The 830 resulted in the most peak power (413 HP or something like that) by some 15+ HP.

Take it for what it is worth...there may have been other factors involved such as jetting...not sure.
