Vacuum And tuning Help

Putting a carb that is way oversize on an engine does nothing for power and will be difficult to tune to run acceptably at anything other than idle and WOT. For a good all around performing engine sizing the carb correctly is very important and it's better to error on the small side than big.

Then why did our 360 pick up almost 2 MPH going from any 4150 based carb to a 1050 dominator?

According to all the CFM calculators, the biggest 4150 based carbs were more than required, in fact, they were about 10% too big? Hmmmmm.

It clearly did something for power.

carry on.
