I'd like to stay with a Dominator carb I think since if I go with a regular base carb, I'd have to use a carb adapter....which would add at least .400" of height to the intake manifold.

So what would happen if I put say a 1050 on the engine. Would I be able to get the A/F ratio right? Would it just have crappy throttle response on the bottom end?

There's a Dominator 750, but I'm kinda scared that it would be too small.....I've been reading a lot of stories that say the carb manufacturers over inflate their cfm ratings.....i.e. a Holley HP950 only truly flows around 800 cfm....
