Now there is a very good point. Perhaps it's time for a little water down the carb. That really works wonders to steam clean pistons and cylinder heads. I'll give it a try this week.

Good pulls , plenty of power , and no dieseling when shut off
. Still pops , bangs and complains out the exhaust on deccelleration
. Also idles fine
The saga continues

I pull that Dominator off of there. So many people have had idling problems with them. The carb was designed to run on a Nascar car which has no idle concerns. With a 650hp 540 you'll need LESS than 850cfm.

Are you SURE your header gaskets aren't leaking?
Are you SURE your dyno headers aren't leaking near the heads?
Does this happen only on the Dyno or does it happen on the boat as well?
Starting to sound like it is pulling oxygen into the cylinders on decel and lean popping...

Don't want to put these in the boat yet due to this problem. I'm liable to blow my Formula Silent Thunder off the back of the boat
. I was thinking on running my boat headers on the dyno just for a short period of time. Not too long , so my stainless elbows don't turn funky colors. The engine doesn't have to be warm to do it. It will do it at initial start up (65* room temp).
Last season when the cams were too big and in the boat , this did not happen. Last month , on the dyno ,pre cam change I don't remember it doing this.
Was also considering Cords suggestion of changing to a smaller carb , although I've never had an idle prob with Dominators.
You know MC, that leaky header theory could be pretty good. I remember years back when GM cars were equipped with A.I.R. and the control valve went south and didn't vent the air out of the exhaust on decel , they could put on a pretty good show
