Don't read if you're close minded

I do have my opinions and I believe if one carb made more power everywhere than the other carb like how the dominator did in the video, then the street manners will depend on the setup and tunability ( if I'm wrong, please correct me).

As for those CFM calculators and formulas for carb sizing for street engines, I believe they give something to work with, but that something is not good enough for me to work with. I may have a flawed perspective, correct me if I do, but it's based not only what other people wrote, do and claim, but a little bit on my experience with my Ferd at the dyno tuner. 302 Ford truck making more power everywhere when we experimented with the air filter. The shop owner/engine tuner who also claims to be an engineer said that the motor will benefit from a better induction setup, with maybe a CAI and a bigger throttle body. Wait! I know that is not a carb, but according to the calculators the ford 302 would need a 500 550 CFM carb. Ok, this where my thought process may get flawed, I might be comparing apples to oranges. The factory Ford dual throttle body flows at about 680CFM from what I can find and we are finding that the engine wants more air. So a bigger throttle body is recommended. Ok, so a bit bigger is better, so why is it fine for normal street driving? It's the tune. Well, it does have efi, so the ecm copes with the different driving conditions based off of the data from the sensors. Now a carb is different because the atomization of fuel happens there first and the venturi speeds up the air going in, but based on what I cand find, more WOT CFM does not make it worse all the time and it's design, setup and tune mostly is what I believe. Do I believe that there is to big? Yes, but I hope that I am in the ball park of what I need not trusting those calculators and not getting a smaller carb.

So... I agree with Eric and
I agree with 318WillRun

As far as low-end vs CFM's (rating at least....:D ).....
In the worst-case scenario (meaning highway gears, stock converter).... my 360 Duster 60 ft the best with the 750 DP Holley and 750 DP Brawler. I tried a 600 eddy, 650 AVS II, 770 VS. As far as Double Pumper's and more CFM rating killing low end on a streetcar with stock converter (or next to stock) and highway gears just isn't the case in my opinion. I believe it's in the tune.
