Dominator Carb in Supergas
 

Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me if there are any problems with running a Dominator carb on a Supergas car ?. Are there any modifications or adjustments that need to be done to these carbs ?. I have one on a BBC 555 cube, approximately 900 hp, 1150 cfm. I have been told it will not run properly on the stop. I have no info on what settings it was set up at. I have no info on carb settings yet.
Thanks Patrick.

Hopefully a few guys will chime in. A friend of mine runs a dominator in SST on his 421 sbc. It was worth a couple mph over his 950 Holley. I dont recall him ever having an "issue". And I believe he used an adapter.

I run a 1050 dominator that has been reworked to flow 1150+ on a 565 with no problems. I use an inline throttle stop and the only suggestion is th make the secondaries 1:1 with the primaries. it will be more consisent on the stop.

Hi Bob, the car runs a Dedendear under carb stop. I have purchased the car complete but do not have it at my place yet to be able to check everything. Have you ever heard of Smith Brothers Chassis, they had a shop in the Massachusetts area. They built Pro Stock cars back in the .90's. I believe they sold out to some one but am unable to find out anything. The car i bought is a 1990 Beretta Pro Stock car built by Smith Bros. Thanks Patrick.

I don't think that I actually know anyone that doesn't run a dominator in SG.. hopefully when you get the car, it will come with the log book and you will find all of the throttle stop settings in the book.. IF NOT, don't panic.. if I can do it, anyone can do it.. and don't be afraid to ask questions of your local SG racers.. that's how I'm still learning...

The carb that most run would be a 1050, 3 circut that has been modified in the intermediate circut so as to be consistant on the stop. Most believe that anything bigger than a 1050 will suffer some with the signal coming thru the boosters coming off of the stop and consistancy will suffer. My engine made 1182 hp on the dyno and that was with a 1050

Chuck is very close on his assessment , How ever the trend is, my engine runs well on the stop with a 1250 Quick Fuels tuned Carb. My RPM's are dead on @4000 and my car runs fairly consistent- I just don't know how to drive anymore !
