You need a shrink.
1050s flow, on a flow bench @ 12"V 1213cfm dry, no fuel and 1121 cfm wet, with fuel.
A 850 flows 1030 cfm dry and 956 cfm wet.
These are with polished venturies and milled throttle shafts with adds about 30 cfm.
You just learned something today.

Holley rates their carbs at 1.5" hg. If an engine at WOT peak RPM pulls more than 1.5"hg the carb will flow more cfm than its rating. Then why go to a large carb? It take work from the engine to pull 1050 cfm @ 2.5" hg that it does at 1" hg. The increase in HP from a carb change can roughly be calculated based on the difference in pressure differential.
