Too Much Carb?
« on: August 05, 2013, 08:46:06 AM »
So when is it too much carburetor? What are the symptoms?

I was running a 1250cfm on my 513ci motor that only spun maybe 6300rpms. Worked great in my opinion.

I've seen guys run dual 1050's on a 496ci that spins 7,000ish rpms.

What would happen if I ran my 1250cfm carb on a stock 460?

You would more than likely find that from about 3/4 throttle and up it will simply run lean an pop and fart through the carburetor, i seriously doubt the stock BBF can move enough Velocity to pull enough fuel, so I guess the symptom would be a WOT  lean condition...

Hey Brad

As you know, I have built a few Comp Jet engines, and they leave here set up with single Dominators.  One that I built, the owner got talked into the twin Dominators on a tunnel ram, which was a bit silly as the engine was clearly stronger than the other boats it's first outing at Long Beach, but was greatly lacking in handling, as well as not being able to load the pump on the straights when the water was bumpy.  Another boat that I built engines for stuck with the single 1150 Dominator, and in fact a couple of years ago at Burley pulled a 6 boat length hole shot(there were photos) on the first straight after the driver admittedly got a "late start".  That same driver tried a 1050 and a 1250 when I was not at the races, apparently all ran very similar.

Back to your "stock" engine, if you have the carb and adapter,, you can try it out and see, but I suspect the engine will have better response with a 750?  I actually have a brand new 750 Dominator here if you want "the look" without all the cfm>
