Yeah, TJ's rig with the forty-bore, lump ports, bumpy cam and V8-size valves could do OK with a 600.
But the AFB design will let you get away with overcarburization, because it will only draw the fuel/air mixture you need, it won't overfeed it. Watch out for your own lead foot, however. You can try it. If you wash out your rings in 2 weeks, then trade down for a 500 CFM.
