Carburetor cfm calculator

Forget the calcs if you want performance.
AKA - Strip Performance-
100% true.
I came across a couple of formulas for calculating carburetor cfm. And for a 360 with a max rpm of 5,500 they all showed a cfm rating of just under 600 cfm. Even with a mild built 360 which for the most part won't see 5,500 very often isn't a 600 cfm carburetor too small or is it? I don't want to over carburate but at the same time I don't want to under carburate either. Is it true that the smaller carburetor will provide better throttle response and low to midrange torque? I'm trying to learn as much as I can so when I start the modifications the package will all work together.
Dan, what is the purpose of the car and it’s performance?
Have you any build plan ideas for it?
Any idea on the cam? Headers or not, etc….
