Absolutely correct when you are talking about OVERcarburation. It is
possible to get Webers etc. in different sizes however, and substantially
change the airflow characteristics, for the better, without overcarburating.
For instance a set of 40mm solexes on an otherwise stock SU 2L car would
likely pick up some performance.
For an otherwise stock 1600, 40's would likely be overdoing it. Something
like a motorcycle carb in about a 36mm would be more suitable.

Is that why I went to bulding a stroker....with efi....and crankfired
