Has anybody else done some back to back testing 
I'm sure there's more opinions out there so let's hear them 
Years ago I had a 500 inch RB with Stage V iron heads that were not very big. It was a Weiand Team G 4500 and 1050 Dom, would not run as quick as the 850 Annular Discharge on a TM7 Edelbrock with an adaptor. IIRC, two-tenths diff in ET(9.50 vs 9.70) IMO the runner length on that Team G was just way too short; you could see that to get the Dom pad they just cut into the runner length and shortened them. Now a more modern manifold would be another story...

Dom, every engine is different. I had my Dominator on a 650 cammed 440 with an M1 and adapter. One of the best in this area, Dale Cubic, set it for that engine. I then put the same carb on my 650 roller cammed Hemi using a 4500 intake. I thought it ran great, until Carburator Joe from APD, as mentioned by Rickster, totally went through it again. After getting a baseline of 505 RWHP, I gave them the carb. Changing nothing but bolting on the new carb, I gained a real world 30 RWHP. Then Vic(DIscoQuik), fine-tuned it for the street. It idles @875, and still runs 10.80's. I'd listen to your carb guy, and let him "tinker" with it. $400 is the going rate, I believe, for quality work. PM AndyF. He's the resident tinkerer and knows what works. I think he tunes in his sleep..

Cab,I`m done racing for a while and need a dana first that way I don`t gernade the 8 3/4 and want to be established in Vegas better also. My car was chassis tuned w/the adapter but is was WAY out of the ballpark in terms of jetting and air bleeds which leads me to think I need a different/better fuel system. Thankxx for the offer though. 
oh come on Dom you couldn't grenade that thing if you wanted to.

 It takes at least 750 HP RWHP to break any stock 8 3/4   
yea but you have to build one that makes 750 hp first  and then it has to make it off of the dyno

I know that`s true Cab about em being bullet proof but just in case the dana is a good investement.
