If there is a tougher testbed for the performance of carburetors than NHRA pro stock drag racing we’d like to see it. These guys are wringing nearly 1500hp out of naturally aspirated 500ci engines and races are often decided by a couple hundredths of a second or less. There is zero margin for error, zero margin for power loss, and zero margin for anything but perfection out of the driver and his equipment if there’s any hope to win a race in pro stock. Since the middle of the 2014 season, the team KB, Summit Racing sponsored entries of Jason Line and Greg Anderson have been working with the Gen III Ultra Dominator carbs and the proof has been in the pudding. This is the second race that they have won on the carbs, they have set low elapsed time at another race, and have a second place finish to go along with the two wins. According to those guys, the carbs were awesome out of the box and through their tuning and tweaking, have only gotten better.

It sure says something that two guys locked in the heat of the battle for a NHRA pro stock championship had the confidence to make the swap to these carb and not only make the swap, but embrace them and perform so well with ’em bolted to the top of their super secret sheetmetal intake manifolds! Hey, we’re surprised that they even told anyone what carbs are feeding their fire breathing engines. These pro stock guys are nuts about their privacy and protecting any sort of performance advantage that they may have over the field. Once this news hits the airwaves we have a feeling that the phones are going to be ringing at Holley with other guys on the line looking for a switch.

Now, you don’t have to be an NHRA pro stock racer to enjoy the benefits of a Holley Gen-III Ultra Dominator. You can run one (or two!) on your race car, truck, boat, or whatever vehicle is in need of some serious carbs!

READ ON BELOW TO LEARN ABOUT THE HOLLEY GEN -III ULTRA DOMINATOR’S SUCCESS IN NHRA PRO STOCK THIS SEASON!

Bowling Green, KY–Jason Line and the team at KB racing in Mooresville, North Carolina, started testing Holley’s new Gen-3 Ultra Dominator carburetor around mid-season, and have since racked up some impressive results. In September, Line and his Summit Racing Pro Stock Camaro was runner-up at the Carlyle Tools NHRA Carolina Nationals, won the AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals, and held the Low ET of Eliminations at the AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals. “We started testing with the Holley Gen 3 mid-season and it showed great potential right out of the box,” says Line. “It has proven to be a great design and casting. It’s performing remarkably well for us.”

Line’s Summit Racing Camaro uses a 500 cubic inch engine that makes an estimated 1400+ horsepower. The Holley Gen-3 Ultra Dominator Carburetors are designed specifically for all out racing applications like Line’s Pro Stock car, and utilize a new, patent pending main-body that’s 5/16-inch taller than the previous generation carburetor. The added height allows for larger radius air entries that deliver smoother airflow into new fully machined, big bore venturii.

A new all aluminum body saves 3.8 lbs. over original models, and the fuel bowls have 20 percent more capacity. Redesigned billet aluminum metering blocks are fully adjustable and feature improved gasket sealing. The Gen-3 Ultra Dominator Carburetors feature modified skirt boosters on 1350 CFM & 1475 CFM models to maintain a strong fuel signal, and also come ready for factory-style TPS mounting for use with data acquisition systems.

“The Holley team put a lot of work into the Gen 3. We’re glad to see them in action in the tough world of NHRA Pro Stock racing. With top racers like Jason Line being successful and laying down blistering 6.590 ETs at 211.2 MPH, we’re confident they will help racers at all levels,” says Bill Tichenor, Holley’s Director of Marketing, “Our engineers listened to what racers needed to be competitive, and we responded with a powerful carburetor that’s also easily adjusted at the track.” For additional information on Holley Performance products visit www.holley.com.
