I also have a 1050 on my 540 Hemi. Both combos were primarily street.

Thumper can put a 1050 together for you that will rival any self tuning throttle body EFI. And certainly will start, run, and drive better than any OOTB carb, whether it is a 4150 or 4500 platform.

A Thumper carb will cost more than a generic carb, but a lot less than an EFI set-up and with fewer mods to the rest of the fuel system.



Did you use an adapter or change intakes when you went from 4150 to 4500?
