Why not 1150 if the big cubic needs more air it would work out great?

Maybe cuz the 1150 Dominator still utilizes a 2" throttle blade with a larger 1.830" venturi, meening it has very little(virtualy no) taper when compared to a 1050 or 1250 (which has a 2.125" throttle blade and 1.88" venturi). This means off idle and acceleration may suffer. Most worked over 1050 will flow 1100+CFM, but aftermarket Carburetor manufactures choose not to rate their carburetors in actual CFM, much like a sterio amplifier. Not sayin these don't work, because they obviously do and have thier place, but on a N/A deal given the opportunity I would choose either a 1050 based Dom over the 1150 and if you need more than that go for the 12 or start looking for a pair of something. The 1150 IMO is best suited for a Supercharger app. my.02

What Josh said ;D
The only reason the conversation even came up was because we were talking about the 600+inch motor he was building and that he was going with a 1050.
900ish hp at low RPM (5kish)
If he was gonna spin it real hard , he would opt for the 1250 .
Once again, I'm just sayin :sly:
