did you know what the quarter mile et of a 289 equipped GT350 was? it was a relatively unimpressive 15.6. however, the shelby was not really intended for drag racing.(trans am racing) i personally think that a 725cfm was waaaay overkill. a 600 would have been best. the old hipo 289/480cfm, pulled down a 15.7 ET. bigger didnt help much. however, it is quite possible to under-carburete. but i dont think a 4V is made that is too small for a typical 289/302.
i see absolutely no reason for a carb bigger than 600 cfm, unless you are doing some serious racing, and manners are unimportant to you.
however, if racing is your thing, it is probably better to over-carburete, than under.
just my .02
