Carb Venturi Size for 470 ci

Out of curiosity, I decided to call up Holley (I know - I'm a glutton for punishment) to ask how a '950' flows more cfm than an '850' with a larger venturi with the same throttle bore size as the '950.' He said the 950 flows more because it's about "air speed," not venturi size. My BS meter was starting to sound, but I what do I know.

Smaller is bigger, makes perfect sense.. works the same way with beer.. lmfao
