Default What size carb?

If you use the formula motor size (cid) times max rpm divided by 3456 will equal the size of carb for the motor. Then you use the VE of 85% for street motors, 90% for modified motors and 95% for race motors. If I plug in the formula 408 cid 6000 rpm =2448000/3456= 708cfm x .90(VE 90%)=637cfm. This should be the wright size carb but what part does the size of cam and the heads play in how this will work? The motor is a 408w solid roller 610 lift vic jr world products wind sr ported and polished. Thanks for your input
Cheers Greg
