Experiment

Go to your kitchen sink, open up the cold water facet, put a gallon jug under it and time how long it takes to fill the jug.
Now put your finger on the head of your facet to cause a restriction (pressure). Time how long it takes to fill the jug up. It will take much longer.

It may take pressure to unseat the needle from the seat on a Holley carb. But what about a old Carter carb. The floats drop pulling the needle of the seat allowing the bowls to fill quite quickly.
