Let me explain this a little better. On similar engines, putting a bigger carb on a chevy didn't make a huge difference in power, it also was more soft or soggy if you will. Putting a restriction before the head on a mopar has a much more profound result. GOing to a bigger carb on a mopar has in my experience made significant HP differences and had no effect on driveability. Changin the intake on a mopar added power and again with little to no difference in manners. Changin it on a chevy changed the cruve and the manners.

These are just my findings. Don't get too hung up on it.

Do your own testing and see what works. Mopars like carb size and intake flow.
