Adding a bigger cam has been in the back of my mind. I may if I can get the time to get the other engine out. I really need to get this new project wrapped up, I need to get the boat down to Valako soon so I can have him make the new tail pipes. There was a guy on here this winter that had a pair of 509's set up almost the same, except with stock pro 1's, 651 cam and 1050 dominator and he was making over 700 hp. He sent me the dyno sheets and it had a great power band. I really think the 1050 Dominator is a good carb with this engine. I like experimenting with things so we will see how it pans out.

Yes, Jim supplied the original clayed up adapter that I derived the CAD from.

running the adapters(once matched to the flange works very well, a lot of drag racers swear by this and run them this way over a dominator intake, all has to do with the signal the carb see's from the engine

That's the general consensus I've come up with too. Even when I talked with Dart, they suggested to run the spacer. To bad they didn't make their adaptor to fit their intake better. If I can run one of Jason's adaptors, i'm going to give it a shot.
