It's just as easy to under-carb a motor too. You have to take into consideration your overall combo as well. Remember what Shelby used on his GT-350's? A Holley 725 Vac. Sec. All he replaced was the stock cast iron intake and exh. manifolds.
Without the stock manifolds to plug up the engine, the engine responded to the increased airflow.
Even on a couple of our cars, the larger carbs made more power and got better mileage then the "so-called" correct size smaller carbs did.
