Re: Carburetor woes
FYI they're up to 1250:

Still I don't like to choke it anywhere in engine building. Maybe
that's why I had more success as a drag racer than the average bear:

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.

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.
