Not true. If the carb is putting out more gas, the engine will run rich and you'll have incomplete combustion (i.e. gas that doesn't ignite). Subsequently the car will exhaust unused gas and probably backfire.

Sounds like it runs good though, and you're happy, so that's a good deal.

Looks like a few folks already beat me to it-this is why I asked if it needed to be rejetted...I've seen an 850DP on a 4.6 4V modular and it lives quite well. If the carb is putting out too much fuel it needs to be rejetted or have different pump cams or possibly smaller squirters or accel pump diaphragms. Otherwise, a carb is a simple air/fuel mixing device operated purely on engine demand...if it's jetted wrong, the size rating of the carb has next to nothing to do with how rich or lean it runs...
