A lightweight car with stiff gears will help of course. A big cam is going to make the low speed throttle response even worse and of course, most people who put a Dominator on a street car also use a big cam.

I actually feel that they’re easier to dial in for street duty when the cam is on the big side(lower engine vacuum), since that’s what the low speed circuits are designed to be used with. 68 Satellite, 383 with stock 906’s, 3550lbs, 11.18@123 Dealer for Comp Cams/Indy Heads

No difference in driving quality vs a 4150 when set up right. And Thumper is the man to do that. If your combo needs/wants that much carb, there is no reason not to. Master, again and still

Many years ago I ran one of them on the street and it worked as good as any carb. Never tried a newer style. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Holley-4575...B-/182382372125

You can kill an engine on a short freeway drive with a 3 circuit. Driving at part throttle with the manifold vacuum under the throttle blade sucking fuel right out of the intermediate dump tubes will wash the cylinders and stick the rings. I've seen customers over the years destroy expensive engines doing that.

Granted it's obviously been modified, but the 3 circuit carbs can be made to work. As delivered from Holley, the 3 circuit carbs are pig fat and run like crap at part throttle.

Frankly.......... the ootb 2 circuits aren’t much better.

Dominic, Thumper Dart,760-900-3895, can fix them up for anyone wanting to drive a 3 circuit on the street Yeah, but they're not 3-circuits any longer once he's gone through 'em. Anyone have experience w/ the HP-style 8082 1050? I'd heard that's more like the old-style 9375, in that it's a 2-circuit intended for a single 4-bbl application. It's not one of the fancy "new gen" billet series, though.
