Default selecting the right carburetor

Hello,
I was hoping to get some direction from the group on whcih MA4 would be
rich enough to give my hybrid O-320 enough gas at takeoff and climb to keep the EGTs low and insure adequate fuel flow?

My new motor is an angle valve O-320 and will deliver 190+ hp....if I can get enough gas to it at sea level and initial climb. I have a 320 now with a reemed jet that helps, but I anticipate needing a carb with larger "internals" that allow for more flow even before gas gets to the jet. IS there such an animal?
Thanks
Ron

Default Carb

I would think an MA-4-5 for a O-360 would be a good bet. Might need O-360 sump also for correct mount flange/hole size. Good Luck,Russ
