Velocity creates vacuum , I work a lot with pressurized air boxes on normally aspirated motors. they have a lot of vacuum and we get frost built up on the throat of the carb. Bigger is not always better.

Are you talking about a pressurized box surrounding the carb? That wouldn't be NA right? Not quite sure what you mean.

I know the temp drop in a carb is due to the venturi effect as well as the fuel evaporation (but mostly venturi effect as the air pressure drops)
Anyway, it would be nice to try some 850s or 950s but I think what I will do is get the jetting dialed in and check the vacuum under the carb at wot. If over 1 inch, I think I'll want to try a bigger one.
Thanks for the input
