Re: Carburetor woes
Yeah, I know they are up to 1250CFM, but I wasn't counting the Dominator
carbs since they use a different fuel line than the "regular" double pumpers. And yeah, some guys even use 1/2" lines for drag racing these days, but like I said, it is not required for a 200-300HP engine. Chris "L.W.

Re: Carburetor woes
All double pumpers use the same float bowl fitting:
http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin.../FuelLine.html As long as you keep limiting it to 200-300HP that's all it going to be. There absolutely no reason Travis couldn't blueprint it for more than a horsepower per cubic inch.
