Holley Strip Dominator vs. Edelbrock Victor 340

I've read up on anti-reversion/shear plates a little. I don't know if one would do much in my particular application. #1, the Strip Dominator has the spread bore so I have a feeling it wouldn't fit without a LOT of grinding. Plus, I believe those things were initially designed to be used on tunnel ram or sheet metal type intakes.

I also have no clue how EFI would handle it but probably wouldn't hurt any since FI adjusts to what's there, whatever the configuration under the throttle body might be - single or dual plane intake, tunnel ram, long or short runner, spacer, shear plate, etc. The fuel mixture is obviously controlled electronically so if there is a 'problem' area then you go into the fuel tables and adjust accordingly. It's never perfect but you can get things fairly close to whatever target A/F ratio you choose for a given data point.

I think the FI can be a big help in tuning for situations like street driving with a healthy cam and single plane. You can 'band aid' it so it doesn't load up or whatever then change the tune when you go to the track and let it fly. Yeah, it takes time just like anything else and you need to understand what's going on at whatever point you're trying to work with but it's useful to have the ability to adjust singular data points without altering the entire fuel curve.


I forgot you are using EFI. If that’s the case, just make the carb flange square by grinding it to the size it is on the secondaries.
