First up, this is my first post, and I just want to say what a fantastic resource this site is! I've spent many hours lurking here when I should have been working!

I'm soon to join the smallish contingent of NZ Cobra owners - my rolling chassis should be ready mid-2007 - and I'm now trying to get to grips with various engine options.

My question: what is the worst that can happen if a carb's flow-rating exceeds what is required given a specific displacement? One of the engines I'm looking at is the Engine Factory's 351W, which has an Edelbrock Thunder 800 cfm included. From what I've read, this seems like more carb than is necessary - but, even if it is, what is the harm?

Cheers,
Mark
