Default Shoutout to Shaker455 and his black magic

Gotta say thanks to Jeff for getting my new Holley Gen3 Ultra 1050XP Dominator finally working the way it should. Just when I thought I knew enough, Holley went and redesigned the circuitry. Frustrating.

The flat spots in acceleration/hesitations are now all ironed out. And if that wasn't good enough, I'm actually more knowledgeable today than I was yesterday because he explained to me why - with pictures even! (whether I retain that data is a different story)

I'm lucky hes in my backyard one state up. Quick turnarounds and true to his word, he gets things done. That's what I dig about this board. True enthusiasts helping each other out. Thanks PY and thanks Jeff.


@shaker455 - If you interested in free pizza, come to Epping for my track rental in October. We'll read plugs together and debate the merits of fuel injection. It'll be fun.



Mods, wasn't sure where to put this - since its a race carb on my race car, I thought it best here.

Jeff has helped me a ton. Super nice guy, very knowledgeable, and always willing to help. He's done a few carbs for me, and they've been great. He's even come over and helped dial everything in. Even had him rebuild an HEI unit that came out awesome!

NED in October is sweet. Engines love that cool fall air!

If you really dont mind, PM me the details. I don't mind chipping in on the rental cost.

Jeff is doing a Quadrajet for me right now. He is very forward with his knowledge.
