950 Ultra XP tuning on 500"

I've long since lost my understanding of the Holley carb numbering system, but I'm not sure that 1.600 Venturi carb is the 950 that only flows 830. I could be wrong, because like I said, I don't buy Holley stuff. I think the only way that big Venturi could only flow 830 is if it has 1.687 throttle blades or something.

I guess I should get a new Holley catalog so I can look at what they are doing.

Even if it flows 950, that engine needs more than that. I can build a stock stroke 440 that'll suck down a 1250. Putting a 950 on a 500 is like puttin a 2 barrel on a Max Wedge.
