Keibasa, I had to jet my outboard carbs way up to get it to make more power than the 1050 Dominator did, 66 or 67 jets in the center and .092 or .094 on the dirver sides and .096 or .098 on the passenger side outboard carbs depending on the track elevation and current weather Most stock jetting on the factory sixpaks sucked wind big time
I run 70's and 35 squirters, stock metering plates, stock intake. I do have 1/2" spacers under all 3 because the water/meth fogs under the center. I think the factory jets were 64? Plenty for a stockish 440. Have a few friends run high 11's (in a b-body) with nothing more than good compression decent heads (iron), 509 cam and a six pack.

No losses that weve seen... Dry. the B/RB and the LA manifolds are very nice designs. The LA from Mopar Perf needs a few+ hours of diegrinder work for basic performance (carbs) due to lots of core shift and flash. The Edelbrocks not so much. You can open up the plenum about 25% if your running it dry, but Id leave it alone with carbs to maximize velocity to combat fuel distribution issues. Well tuned carbs work great but its a lot easier to tune the computer, or better yet, let it tune itself! Weve seen mid 600hp RB and LA stroked motors using the dry 6bbl intake. Wed like to see how much more the intake can support modified for EFI... BKB
I sell fuel injection, but Ill still rebuild your carb if I have to...
