Uhhhh...hate to say it, but it's starting to sound like a "Dick Waving"
contest. Who's got the biggest and baddest TB out there.

CFM ratings make some difference, but there is a limit on the size. Adding a
1000+cfm TB to a mildly modified (or even with a S/C) is just too big unless
you have the headwork, cam, and exhaust to go along with it.

Would you put a Holley Dominator on a 360CID engine with only "mild"
modifications? Hell no.
