Hmmm, Never messed with a Dominator. But, just my opinion, aside from it being too big, it appears the carb does not fit your application at all!

Pro tree is difficult with a footbrake launch. I couldn't pull good RT's without deepstaging. But I'd suggest trying to slow it down mechanically (a stop of some sort). Water temp isn't a good way. Carb, especially the accellerator pump, should be tuned to your comfortable launch temp. Some cars run faster even colder!

Shorter front tires will give better RT's and slow down your ET a bit. Less rollout.

I try to go deep, but the starter never allows enough time. The track allows deep staging, but you can't write it on your car. The guys that have it together can pre-stage and then go deep in one motion. I'm not that good. The Dominator is about 3 mph better in the 1/4 and has been just as consistent as various 4150's that I've tried. Currently my only 4150 is a Mighty Demon, 825 cfm.
