Choosing the right carb for my car (340 4-speed)

I reject the term "Staving it" at the top end. A correctly tuned carb will perform well. He'll be down a few HP at worst. He'll stack up on a high velocity snappy throttle response with possible mileage gains. The add velocity will add torque.

Ok - I was just forwarding what I've heard others say. I have no experience to back it up. Haven't even got mine on the road yet.
