That said, we(Holley) have a million dollar flow stand and use it, they don't. There is a reason all our new carbs have a blended inlet and not the stubs sticking up. And to the person who thinks an SV-1 will drive better......you better think hard about that. That large throttle blade is like a switch. It only has to move a small amount to introduce a huge volume of air. A carb can NOT cover that sudden change of A/F ratio unless is has enough fuel in it already down low to cover it. Those tend to be extremely rich down low to cover that transition and they won't work otherwise Monte

Was thinking about this today...............I made a carbon fiber flat lid since it was light but am now thinking that was a bad idea. So, what is the best lid? 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

We'll be testing the new Holley Gen3 1050 along with a QF 1050 on a 540 inch BB Mopar in the next couple of weeks. I'll post the info when I have it. I'm expecting it to be kinda close between the 2 but you never know! Any test results to share? I am thinking about putting a Dominator on my Hemi.

I dyno tested two different motors with the K&N Extreme filter lids, a 4150 carb. and a 4500 carb. on a different motor, both stock stroke 440 with 440 size intake port heads. Both motors lost 8 HP at or close to peak HP at around 6000 RPM The Dominator carb. motor ran .03 ET quicker and .2 MPH faster at the track with the Extreme lid on compared to two A-B-A test on two different days We don't race dynos, do we I let the other racer with the 4150 carb. motor know what we found on the bracket car I drove and they ended picking up a little bit more ET and MPH than we did when they put thier Extreme lid on thier car at the track Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

And that's the exact complaint that my three friends who tried them. Two big blocks and one small block all said idle nice good at full throttle junk anywhere in between. Full race car fine any dual purpose car not really that good. Brett Miller W9 cnc'd heads STR Chassis fabraction
