<VV> Jets for power

[Bryan Blackwell]

No.  A 390 CFM carb flows 390 CFm at its specified pressure drop - 
usually 1.5" of mercury for a four barrel, as I recall.  If you 
increase the pressure drop, you'll increase the flow.  Bear in mind 
that the current Nascar Cup cars are using a 390 - I guarantee you they 
get more than 390 CFM through that carb.

Flow through the jets is proportional too - more flow through the carb 
means more pressure drop in the venturi (recall that pressure is 
proportional to speed) which results in more fuel flow.
