2 carbs vs. Dominator...
For you knowledgeable old school racers, I have a question. I know it may be opinion, but I'm trying to get the best possible input to decide which way to go. I have a 2600 lb. Vega going very low 10's @ 133 mph with a 409 c.i. small block, using 2 660 Holley center squirters on an edelbrock tunnel ram. I have sitting on the shelf, a super victor intake, with an adapter to accommodate the Quick Fuel 1150 cfm carb on it. This combination worked well on a similar motor ( 421 c.i.) in a 3100 lb. Chevy 2. It ran 10:30's @ 132 mph. Would it be reasonable to assume the Dominator combo would improve my times if I replaced the 2 carbs with it, on the Vega. The adapter for the Dominator that I am using is not the cheap one.....it has about 3" height and doesn't leak. Also...I have been some "loading up" problems with the 2 carbs. While they give you great throttle response, I'm not sure that they are really doing the job on this motor. Thanks for all/ any input.
Saw this posted on FB, and thought of posting it on the Joke Page as a Model A Donk, but then thought it's not a joke, it's cool!! -
