You'll see a big difference due to carb size as the horsepower rises,
especially on a dual plane intake manifold.

We've seen headers make a 36 HP increase, mufflers lose 50 HP, 50 HP between
intakes, etc. so it all can make a difference. Everything makes a bigger
difference on a larger displacement engine and an engine with better heads.
