Are you running at Kilkare 6.50 class

Here is some real world experience from days gone by:

Two different times, I bought two different turn key cars that had 1050 Dominators that I thought would be too big.

First one: 69 Dart, warmed up 440, MP .484 cam, 11" OE converter, 3.91's. I SWEAR TO YOU it had an old Torker/adaptor and a 1050 Dom. Ran 11.91 @ 114 mph and I KNEW I could speed it up with my "trick" AED 850 DP. Ummmm, NO. I went to TnT ran the Dom and then changed over. I made several more runs trying different tune ups and the best I could get it to go was 12.02 @ 112, Crazy or what??

Next, a 73 Cuda back half car with a 383. What a odd mish mash of parts that was! TRW domed pistons, R280 roller (!) 2 1/8" primary headers (!!!) 8" converter a 4.86 gear and 14x32 rubber. Intake was a Team G 4500 with a 1050 Dom. It ran 11.19 @ 120 on the Dom and again, knew that carb was too big, so out came that trusty trick AED 850. After throwing jets and squirters at it, the best was 11.28 @ 119.

THEN...a buddy said the Team G was junk and let me try his untouched M1 4150 base. Back to TnT, base line with the 4500 Team G/Dom was right where we left off the previous week; 11.19 @ 120. Switched over to the M1/adaptor/Dom and went 11.09 @ 122.

I am still working on mine, but at the moment, my street car that I was testing it on, has suffered a big engine failure while racing it. My intention was to put it back on and tune as good as I can get it right after the last Nostalgia race I was in when a rod let go.

I will be putting it back on for more tuning with an AFR gauge after I rebuild, if it doesn't sell first.

Neat carburetors, and I think they take a bit of tuning to get them right. Mine idles and drives great, but I was fighting a rich condition at WOT and partial throttle. Now that I have the G3 1250 Dominator working like EFI, I was going to continue working on the SV1, but it might be a while.

Just bolt on this little guy. I'm sure it will be great, btw it's for a SB But wait it has more than 2 circuits, how could it work

As for EFI vs Carb stuff. Look no farther than Pro Stock for an answer. We have a couple of guys in the NA ranks who have tried it and keep coming back to the carbs. FWIW there is a lot more to it than CFM, Venrturi size and basically JUST the carb. Deck height manifold design intended rpm range yada yada yada..

That is the class I want to run but I haven't yet because I don't have the car there yet. Been running brackets with it up to this point. This is my first year with this car and I spent the first half of the season getting it to handle well enough to race it.

Buddy of mine put one on his back half LUV truck with a 434 stroker small block chevy and a sledge hammer plate, it dropped 3 tenths over the dominator he was running. Only thing I have noticed with Dominators and SV1 carbs is they aren't as street friendly as 4150 carbs, which is the only reason I still have my 4150 1000 carb on my truck.

I have one of those too. Runs just fine with the intermediates plugged..

And that one works just fine as does our 4 circuit Braswell just fine thanks. Talked to Dale for quite a bit he was full of info for sure on many topics. More than one way to skin a cat, or are you saying 2 circuits are the only way? Seems like the common theme anyway. From my experience around comp and Pro NA and NA10.5 guys I don't know anyone using a 2 circuit Dominator. Just saying....

Update;
Today I met with 67mprfan and bought a 1050 dominator from him. I have an M1 intake coming from Summit so before too long I will have some results of my own.I will post an update as soon as I have a chance to test. It's probably going to be a couple of weeks before I can make the swap because of my schedule, but I'll post up when I get it done. I checked out the jetting that's in it now, it's 95/97 which seems a bit rich to me, but who knows. I'll find out what it wants. Thanks to everyone who's posted on this thread for their help.

I never ran it with those jets I was going to put that carb back on after I got my junk back together again but already had to many changes going on so I kept my old one on and was going to do comparison later..... Thanks for stopping by
