Cylinder Head Porting and Power Production

Is it possible that on a underheaded large cube stout engine that the larger carbs slowed down the overall intake tract airspeed?

Yes but the smaller port places more vacuum on the mixture improving its vaporization rate which improves the mixture at burn time.
Its been a while, but i think the Dominator finally got it over 129, think it had been a little over 128 with the 1025
I then swapped in a 112 cam, didn't like that at all, wouldn't leave off the foot with the Dominator. Was a slug. Never again. Scott Brown talked me into it.
Patrick and i used to work together before he opened his carb shop.
He loaned me a few carbs to try 750/1000, ended up buying the Dominator.

Were they all Annular booster carbs? Did you retune each time or was it just a straight swap. Did you find best timing for each carb?
