No man, it's just that Americans can't handle the idea that a hot Aussie six can chug-a-lug a 500 cfm 2-bbl, 390, 465 , 470, 525, or 570 or 600 cfm 4-bbl carb without spilling it!
The Holley guys are just looking after 80% of the customers they know about...V8 guys. You don't fit in there scheme of things. Your a die-hard performance nut who wants grunt, not a weazy little jug.
It's just now that guys like Mustangaroo and MustangGeezer, Ricksmol, and Jimbo65 are discovering that a big carb isn't a bad thing on a 200 cuber. How much more when you have 25% more cubes? And what if it has an alloy head and a cam with much more lift, and duration? I've not seen a 500 cfm carb do 200 hp on a street car, or a 350 cfm do more than 130 hp. The 465 does 280 on a race car, and will cut the 225 hp at about 4800 rpm with a 280 degree cam with 510 thou lift and some head work.
The 350 and 500 2-bbl Holleys are just babies. Those other listings (390, 465 , 470, 525, or 570 or 600 cfm 4-bbl) are what you should look at.
