Reply to "Holley Strip Dominator angled carb base..."

Dear Mooso,

I have a Holley on top of a Holley Strip Dominator with the stock carb pad. It has run fine since installation in 2006. With the higher rise of the HSD, the angled appearance of the carb attitude is more obvious. I was as sure, as an amateur can be, that the angled mounting of the carb *must* be detrimental to power. As I inquired, I discovered the same handful of options to attain a level carb. I inquired of a friend with decades of experience in NASCAR, drag racing, endurance road courses, etc, who is also a Pantera owner. His succinct advice was I could level it, but it wouldn't change the performance. A level carb only affects the appearance.

I haven't changed it. The car was driven to Phoenix two or three times and then to Houston followed by the only dry day on the TWS track.
