To piggy back on what Russ said.......
Imo, for a mostly street build, how “well” the carburetor functions in the ranges where it’s used the majority of the time should be a higher priority than if it makes 5hp less than a “bigger” carb at WOT.

Getting a carb that balances good driveability, fuel economy, and power output is what I aim for with motors that spend most of their time running down the road.

In today’s market, this is where things like the Sniper EFI kits excel....... especially when you implement the timing control function.
