carb intake question

[vdrivenman]

running a 482, 13/1 bbc ,full roller, rect port heads, not sure on the valve sizes.
current set up is 2 1050 dom's on a tunnel ram.had considered going to a
single 1050 on the tr,but concerned about the leaning out problem.
don't race this boat, a rider so what intake is recommended to allow me to
use one of the 1050's and save some fuel.figure i wil only loose 3-4 mph by
going with single set up and since not a racer thats ok OR should i stay with
the tr and go to smaller carbs??

Why not use a non TR manifold?

[ol guy]

Holley pro-dominator manifold and 1 1050. Not enough info to go further. That system was designed by holley to go high in the rpm range and still have driveabilty. Side note: I would not worry about a speed change to much. I would worry about the bottom-end you will pick-up and where to spend the extra money you wont be tossing at the feul dude. M

team g makes a good intake, dart,brodix,victor jr,ect any of the tall single planes will do.:D
that t-ram with the 2 1050s is killing you bro you will pick up low,mid, and top end plus better economy:eek: dont be fooled by t-ram nuts with big carbs they are bling-bling shiat:D they have there place just not on little motors that dont turn alot of rpms.
from what i hear my bro tells me you are only turning 5800 once in a great while with a b-cut impeller should be better with that motor.you will notice a difference in that when you chunk the t-ram and do it right:) later trav.
obtw he said he talked to you today.:D

go single gary, you won't lose anything. did you decide to keep it?

thanks for all the info. i value it !!!!!
haven't decided yet.steven and i had a good conversation and discussed some possibilties.nice guy that is why i HAVE to make a broken bow or greason deal this yr.
my wife likes water and boats,but likes to ride a little bit.not just go from the ramp to the hangout.with current set up it drinks the fuel.
i can't imagine it pulling any harder than it does from 3500 til i am out of impellar or bump the limiter at 5800.
tell me any other info needed to make a decision.cam intake is.580 exhaust is .685 run the valves at 30 cold.would a carb intake change require a timing set or plug change.
these questins may sound stupid to some of u,but i am no motor head.
i guess the 1 1050 will flow high enough to feed this motor.
heading out for lagrange,but check back later for info.
happy & save TG guys!

gary i'm building a 13 to 1 505 and by every carb calculator i use, to run the motor up to 7500rpms showed i needed a 1000cfms. i went with a new custom built dominator 1050 that flowed at alittle over 1150cfm on the flowbench.runnin it on a single plane. 2 carbs aren't for guys like us who go all over the lake all day, not just set and chill:D if i'm at the lake, i'm there to drive my boat, i just stop long enough to drain a can or 2 and my bladder:D :D
timing should be the same or close but you'll need to go back to stock jetting on the 1 dominator and tune from there. you may get lucky and the carbs be still stock jetted;)

yes it will be alot better on fuel and power:) that motor is the f-in over carbed like me tom said youll be much happier with 1 of those and still have fuel at the end of the day:D
a 482 is really not a big motor bro 550 c.i. is getting small these days,lol!!!
my ole mans motor is a 505 like the one toms building and he can run all day and we run alot on 2 10 gallon tanks and i mean we run alot.miles upon miles if he plays it smart if he starts playin hard sure it will drink the fuel:jawdrop:
he turns a a/b agressor ss impellor 6300 rpm and the pump is fully loaded.so thats why im saying i bet you get that motor runed right and youll gain rpm and speed.:devil:

GEEZ i need a drink.that Houston traffic was grid lock murder and i was pullin FIL's 21 ft mako back to his house for him.
so If i keep it.definitely going to go to 1 dom and a single plain intake. looks like the best of all worlds.less fuel useage,more torque in low and mid range and possibly p/u some top end.
i'll start looking once i decide.
thanks guyz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wind is a blowing temps dropping fast,cold turkey day in store.

man, if i can go 4-5hrs with both my 16gallon tanks full, i'll be super happy!

[vdrivenman]

ok,
so if i go with one of these tall plane single carb intakes. does it take a special one to handle the dominator or do u have to have an adapter ? also can u mount them any ways(sidewayz) to handle fuel lines and throttle linkage?? what rpm range should this intake be rated for?

[ol guy]

Both team G and the holley dominator manifolds come with a base designed for the dominator base plate. and I am sure others make the same set-up but those two are the ones I would look for. RPM range will be from 2k up. I've seen guys that go thru the lights at 10.5k and still pulling. M
