As far as Dominators, they are fine with most biggie blocks, but very few have made the magic number with them on a true street driven car like 383 as well as mine. I mean his 493 is very small compared to what's out there nowadays. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe there's a guru out there that can take the new Holley and make it run with his combo and still act civil on the street.

A while back there was a thread about a 4150-body 1050CFM Holley, don't recall whose but it sounded promising.

First pass it just would not rev good and felt real flat......11.27 @ 113 ! Yuk but my brother was watching and he said it looked good as it pulled about 6 inches under the front wheels but I said it felt real bad. I had just stuck the 850 DP on that was on my old 440 and I knew it needed more carb but I used what I had. Well we pulled the 80 primary jets and put 86's in. Car started fine and idled fine. Next and final pass for the night.........11.04 @ 121.42. Ok we made a drastic jet change to find out we are going in the right direction. We were going to pull the secondary bowl but I decided to call it a night as my back was hurting alot and my left knee was giving me alot of pain and I was not up to any more work. So I called it a night telling myself that 11.04 @ 121 is not to bad for the second ever pass on my pump gas full exh 3700 lb street car that I drove the 90 mile round trip. I will pull the carb and work it over this week. I wish I had a Dominator or a nice 950 to try but I will use what I have. I honestly think it has easy 10.80's or better and I hope to find out soon. I know I could have jetted the secondary side and came home with a 10.9 something pass but I was just not up to it. I had fun and hope to get back to the track in a month or so. Ron Hey ron great job. 11.04 is the same et i ran last saturday but for some reasion they were not giving 1/4 mile mph. so could you post what your 1/8 et and mph were also ypour 60ft. sounds like there is alot more in it.Mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

I have only driven it on the street where it felt fine driving normal. I would hit it a little once in a while but not really putting it to the floor and leaving it there as it felt fine even with a quick nailing the throttle. It had 80's and 86's in it with a 3.5 P/V up front. It drove fine going home and has not overheated or has no ping so I dont think it hurt anything. Ron Last edited by 383man; 08/26/11 10:19 AM.

Pretty sure a Pro-systems tweaked 1000HP like on mine would suit your very similar combo, I'd imagine you could put that thing solidly in the 10.65 range or better once you're sorted. That Max Wedge dual plane really likes a lot of CFM and traction/torque is definately going to be a chassis tuning challenge to really plant all the ET potential you're going to bring.

You can buy a new intake and a dominator and maybe pick up a tenth or two after tweaking and spending a grand. If it were me, I would just keep the nice street carb 850 and dial it in at the track next time out. 2 kids and a dog

Thanks Tom but my buddy just told me about an hr ago to try his 950 Proform. So when I go back to the track I will run the 850 and then the 950. He told me if I like the 950 to keep it on the car as he wants to put the 850 back on his car which is a street car that he never races. Ron
