Yeah, nothing custom. It's going back on the dyno to tune and the boat has widebands

I've had great luck with Nickerson prepped Dominators. Great idling and docking manners.

Skip the concept of these guys who claim they can set you up with a carb that will be perfect out of the box in your boat. Go with a carb that has nice hardware and features. Theres still plenty of shops out there selling used up modified/hacked old holleys.

I can tell you who to stay away from, in my opinion, and thats

nickerson
lance patten

great info!

I would see if any of them offer anodizing it will keep it looking new.

Have you hooked up a wideband on your engines?

Yeah, I took a look at that. That might be the way to go. Didn't notice if it had power valves or not.

I wasn't really happy with the pro systems out of the box set up and some other stuff. Sort of soured me on custom stuff.

Yup, Black Dimond they call it. They offer it (optional) on many of their carbs and standard on some others.

arburetors can reach a peak under-hood temperature of between 180° to 200° F., and the chemicals in the fuel, oil and coolant can literally bake onto your carburetor and become corrosive over a period of time. While an unsightly looking carb won't usually affect performance, under-hood heat will. For years, racers and tuners have increased performance by lowering fuel temperature. Quick Fuel Technology™ (QFT) has introduced a highly durable PTFE coating that lowers fuel temperature by 6% to ensure maximum power and response. It is impact and scratch resistant, and also resists corrosion from under-hood chemicals and harsh environments found in marine applications and coastal regions.

The high performance PTFE coating is designed specifically for the unique requirements of carburetors and is available in a satin black finish. NitroPlate®, an industry leader in all types of high temperature coatings, formulated and applies this coating on select SS-Series, Q-Series, and QFX-Series carburetors for QFT™.

With the BLACK DIAMOND™ Series your carburetor will shed dirt and resist corrosion, offering a showroom fresh appearance and unique performance advantage for years.
