Is this a good carb for a mild BBF in a jet?
Holley Dominator
1050 CFM
Annular Boosters
3-Circuit Metering
Soft Progressive Mechanical Linkage
Center Hung Dual Inlet Fuel Bowls
Dual 50cc Accelerator Pumps
Four-corner Idle System
Screw-in Changeable Air Bleeds
Non-stick Gaskets
Notched Secondary Float with Jet Extensions
If so, is $300 for a brand new one a good deal?
What intake would you guys suggest?
TIA

I don't believe that a dominator will be very efficient on most jet boats. There may be some boats that have high compression and run wide open 1/4 mile drags. If this is not you then, stay away from the dominator. If you use a partial throttle or let off or slow down with a dominator, they tend to load up the motor or make them fat temporarily. The dominator will act like a big 2 barrel at partial throttle. Most dominators have a progressive throttle linkage. This is not ideal for any application other than full throttle. Most engines will respond more efficiently and aggressively with a 4150 style carburetor. If you take the same engine and try both carbs, one would be pleasently surprised..... ;D The smaller the carb, the greater the venturi affect, the greater the throttle response.
On a second note, my current engine has an 850 Dper' on it and it allowed a 470" motor to spin 7k (in a flattie)......how bout' dem apples????

That sounds like a holley 8896, I could use one for my engine. PM me the number if you don't want it.

Thanks fellas, looks like I'll be buying and selling, or trading it for an 850 >:D

Ralph, as soon as I get it (next week) it's yours man, I'd way rather trade it than sell it.

zackly, this carb is N.O.S. in the fact that it's NEVER been ran, it has spent it's entire 5 year life in the box, on a shelf in a local speed shop, out of sight, out of mind

BUT IT FOR $300! ANd if you don't want it, I'll but it from you for $350 and come pick it up. Really brand new?
