That would be correct, but only if your carb is on the marginal side of small for the engine.

So for example, a 650 DP on a 482 might lose top end, but the increased throttle response would make it nicer to drive overall.

This example would be better with an 850.

Watching a vacuum gauge at wide open throttle will tell you if you need a larger carb.
