On our flowbench we havent seen any difference. I even went so far as to hog out the top to make it like a Demon, no difference. Doesnt mean at higher flow rates there isint a difference, but from what I can tell there isint. I know some in the IT crowd call the early carbs "big tops" but it doesnt mean they flow more.

You might check here for your next race carb. I know sterling has a more direct link to info, maybe someone can post up. Carl is too much of a gentleman to toot his own horn.
