Default Carb size
ok...my buddy wants an opinion on carb size. Just a general estimate. Shooting for 700hp with dart heads (steel), (big block). I said a Holley 950 HP double pumper. Your opinions please ? Thanks.

How many cubic inches ? How many RPM's is he planning on turning? I would still think at least a 1050 Dominator.

Remember Holley HP 4100 series do not flow the same numbers as the 'regular' series. For example, my HP 1000 flows about 870cfm...

Holley just introduced a new marine CG approved 1050 2-circuit. It should be spot on.
