I wouldnt lie to ya
With that in mind, the 950 is a hell of a carb for the smaller motors, a bit more flow than a 750, but good airflow across the boosters with the smaller venturi size. I can almost promise it doesnt flow 950 though LOL
I also would say a 1000 HP doesnt flow as much as an equiv Dominator, its sorta advertising math
However when you start talking a deep breathing 450+ cid engine, a 750-780 just isnt enough, the 950 may be if you never really work the motor to its potential, (to include WOT mid-range) but if thats the case, why pay for stage "whatever" heads, the setup will outflow the carb at ease with a good cam and good exhaust, add good heads and the carb now is your restriction.
I consider the 950 a big-cube or high revving small block carb, and a good one certainly, but like I said, sometimes a little old school thought is appropriate
A stock stroke Mopar, Ford or Chevy at 440. 429 or 454, you name it, with a reasonable set of gears in a Charger, Galaxie, Impala, etc would be happy with an 850 in any of our "younger day cars" and no-one would question it
Now add more airflow with some good heads, a more modern cam, 40+ more cubes, and a modern intake in a lightweight car. It needs air and will happily use it, how can you logically go backwards?
I understand the old "dont overcarb" idea that we read in the rags, but this isnt a 350 Chevy or 302 Ford
