a lot of good single carb info here, but i have to wonder if the manifold is best for the combo? it could be fine and i know it's had some good press but what "IF"? i don't care for single carb stuff much anymore, especially when cost is factored in. i'd open the door to a lot of options. the worst that looking could do is send you back to what you have.
Manifold is a Holley Street Dominator…ran really well with the 800 DP I used to have. I also have a new Victor that I’ve never ran…but I bought it to run with Fuel injection that I never ended up finishing.
i was just wondering if the manifold would complement the ported heads or hinder them. if the heads are 300+cfm and the manifold is 280-290cfm would spending a bunch of money on a carb make a noticeable difference? just asking. would the victor manifold, which can make more power, and a better carb add growth plus performance? i think maybe i'd try the victor first and spend money on a carb second.
as far as losing some performance goes a lot of factors play in. driver, weather, track, old tires, fuel delivery degradation, maybe a combo of all? i think i'd try to look at a broader picture.
