Re: excess volume - the peaky-er the engine is (narrow power band, falls off the planet below the band) proper volume becoms more important.
Too much volume kills recovery after a shift (~ RPM drop: very close ratios not too bad, Powerglide = terrible).
Bill Jenkins' rule for carbureted apps: find max power, then reduce plenum volume by 10%.
