I've used all kinda sizes/brands on cars over the years. BG and Holley's have worked well. I only had one bad out of the box(holley Dominator that summit swapped out at no charge). The only carb that didn't work extremely well was a predator...looked cool but I couldn't get it tuned properly. Every carb comes with a disclaimer "some tuning required" will be located somewhere on the packaging or sales material.
smaller carbs will have better signal and drive-ability but a well tuned big carb may provide more power. I loved running 11's with my 700holley DP..most streetable carb I ever owned. Next best carb was a Carb Shop modded 850.... Check the timing, tune,jetting, and plugs. Make sure there isn't any dirt in the air bleeds as well.
