Too big or just right

I have a stock carbed 302withdual exhaust and very mild porting of the heads. Would an Edelbrock performer 600cfm be too big or just right. I have heard that 4bbl give better performance and mileage. is this true? Thanks

600cfm is close to perfect for a 302,
and yes, if you stay out of the secondaries,
your milage will improve slightly...
