Vacuum And tuning Help
Not true. A given motor with small ports, will not need as big a carb as the same motor with big ports. The small ports will be the restriction, not the carb. But again, what type of motor are we talking about. All out race motor or street motor? Makes a difference. Try putting your dominator on a stock slant six. Might be able to get it to idle, but nothing else. There would not be enough air velocity thru the carb to active the metering circuits.
Not true.
what does ''bigger carb'' mean to you, dominator????? lol come on man...
''the larger carb'' is what I said, not the ''largest carb you can find''.....
most everything is app specific and I did not intend to sound as general as you took it.
It's port volume in relation to stroke/cid/....& rpm
in the stock world...look at the super six....look at what a 750 on a stock 340 does to et's.....look at the 440 and what an 850 does for et's....
heck look at the thermo quad, the added cfm helped those low comp 340's, let alone had to pass smog=tiny 240cfm primarys with like 600cfm secondarys
what I'm saying is 'reasonably speaking' for example...you take a sb stroker and put smog heads on it, that air speed is flying and makes plenty of signal to run the larger carb to an extent[as in not talking about dominator carbs or the farthest reach of debunkment to this] thats stay in the relm...say a 700cfm was recomended where really you could get away with a 850-900cfm carb.
A good friend of mine ran an 850 on his STOCK 340 4spd car, it idled fine, was a lil blubbery if you stomped it but once above 3000 [not hard in stick car or if you have a 3000 stall convertor...] ran lke a bat outta hell.
you know where I was going with this, you understood enough to reach.
and hey we don't want guy's going out a buying dominators to throw on their 318's.
