My point is you will control how much air the motor sees when driving, the only time you can have a carb. that is to small is at wide open throttle shruggy
I would, and do, buy the biggest carb that I think I might need in a speed contest at the track or on the roads trying tp pass someone work devil


I agree with Cab. So why buy a carb that is smaller than the rest of the build?

And there seems to be an implication that a 4500 carb is more of a 'Race' carb. While a 4150 is a 'street' carb. I don't see it that way. The carb should be sized to the needs of the combo and the tune should be for the combo.

Sized right and tuned right, I don't see any preference for a 4500 vs a 4150. It's just how much air the combo wants/needs. A 505" BBM with Max Wedge ports and 6,500RPM potential will need MORE air than most 4150s can supply. Certainly more than an 850.

And tuned properly, they will both have the same street manners.
