Carb vs. head question

Joe Toller · 03-23-2013, 10:26 AM

A thought popped into my head, primarily thinking smaller motors, like small V8s and 6's, if a hypothetical combination had a better carb one year, but the next year the carb was different and less cfm, yet the head flow was improved, which way would you go? Better carb or better heads?

My thought is carb size in this instance may be so small it would have no effect on head flow, and the valve lift is probably low enough to not even matter. What say you?
