66 Sat,
You choose what you like. I have been doing this for 50 yrs. Yes, not an apples to apples comparison. The Charger v GT test pitted a 625 cfm carb against a 830 cfm carb. The extra 200 cfm didn't do much, as the GT was slower in acceleration. During the muscle car era, 4 bbl Chrys cars were head of the pack for performance.....& they had AVS or AFB carbs.
When the popular small blocks were tested in 1969 to see if their developed HP matched the adv hp, only one engine did: the 340 & it made 20 hp more than adv!!!!!! Nearly 300 hp with a little 625 AVS, factory exh manifolds. The Ford 351 made the lowest hp & guess what carb it had...
