    Street Driving with a Dominator

    I was curious what kinda streetability you could get with a dominator carb?

    With the 500+ cube big block i'm building, i'll need the big airflow. But, I hear talk of two and three circuit carbs, and it all confuses me.

    What kinda carb should I look for? Based on the heads i'll be running, and cam/compression, a 1050+ has been reccomended.

    Help!

    I've heard that the way to go is with Demon carbs...

          EFI is tempting, but phayzer would make fun of me.

              Drool!


              And my lil Capri uses a weber with the choke removed and the throttle is a bit touchy....But it is fun to drive

              I assume a race carb would be very similar.

                If you absolutely have to get a dominator, get one with a three-circuit setup. The regular two-circuit Dominator doesn't have much of an idle/cruise setting adjustability, and is more of a light-switch in power delivery.
                What is so special about the dominator, other than it's a.....dominator? Spend some time reading about them, you would be amazed with how much you can do with one. Another option would be dambest carbs (DAMBEST.COM), this guy is getting some serious power out of his equipment...if I go carbed, his stuff is what I am going to be robbing liquor stores for.
