I always put 850 DP holley's on stroked small blocks that make 500hp. Under carbing makes for better low rpm throttle response, but limits top end HP. Overcarbing causes a loss of some low rpm throttle response, but lets the motor make peak power at rpm. So would you rather have 1800 rpm throttle sensativity, or more power at 6000 rpm?
