Carb Size - BBC
Im wondering what carb you guys think would work best for my combo listed below. Im assuming a Dominator, but what size, company? Thanks for the help.
1970 Chevelle Drag Race Only 3200 Pounds with driver 29.5 x 11.5W Hoosier slicks Southside Machine lower control arms and adjustable upper control arms 4.11 gears in 12 bolt Spool Turbo 400 Trans with Transbrake 540 CI Big Block 4.50” Bore 4.25” Stroke 12.8:1 Compression Bullet Roller Cam 4/7 swap. 276, 280 duration at .050. .757 .737 gross valve lift AFR 357 CNC cylinder heads. Brodix HV Intake MSD Digital 6 Ignition |
Oh yeah, The Brodix HV is the intake I have for it but I would be willing to change. Any suggestions on that would be helpful as well.

1050 is what I'd put on it, for the best GAS carbs check out either a APD or a Pro Systems.

1050 Quick Fuel Dominator

If you are buying an out of the box carb then go with a Holley Dominator 1150 cfm,but for the price go with Pro Systems and they will recommend what you need.
|
Look into Dale Cubic @ CFM carbs, He makes a real nice carb.
|
I have a 540 similar to yours with smaller heads than you have in a 3050 lb car with a 8896 1050 and it works great.
|
Thanks for the responses.. I have a 1250 dominator and have heard it is too big. How much power/ET do you sacrifice running a carb that is too big? Also, what intakes do you guys like for a BBC making 825 HP?

I like a super victor intake.Call pro sytems and ask if the 1250 is too big.A buddy of mine just got a pro systems carb and they recommended a 1200cfm for his motor and it is a 540.He had a 1050 quickfuel and put the pro systems carb on and picked up about a half a tenth.
