1050 Holley Dominator

I have a 1050 dominator and was wondering If I could re jet it or do something to it to make it work on my 1986 camaro z28 with a 454 big block chevy with

-10.5/1 compression
-533/533 hydraulic cam

I was just wondering If I could use this instead of having to buy a new holley 750? If anyone Knows what jets I should use would you please tell me thanks, Dave

Optimal jetting is still 14.6 air/fuel ratio reguardless of carb size. A 1050 will just dump in a lot more 14.6 ratioed fuel than a 750 will. If you're spinning the 454 to 8000 rpm the 1050 will be fine. I ran an 850 on my 383 and buzzed it to 6400 rpm.
