On say a 468" motor making 925 Hp on single 1300 Dominator does anyone know how much it would pick up with dual Dominators?

Fairly confident it would make more but not sure how much or if it is worth it.

Thanks in advance.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

It was worth .10 in the 660' on a 440" small block with 13 degree heads in a 3100 lb car

This particular motor is a 463 " SBC, pretty stout for a SBC but I want a little more. Lol.

The engine im talking about made 890 and 730 and runs 5.60s at 3100 lbs. A single dominator would only run hgih 570s.

That is substantial. I may try dual carbs. Thank you,

From what I've seen and read, the typical gains can be up to as much as 100 hp gain, but it's not due to just the carb.....manifold has a lot to do with it as well. Newer manifold designs and larger carbs have substantially closed that gap though....gains aren't as much anymore, and in some cases, there are no gains, but we're also talking about very high end stuff like MBE's billet intakes and others of similar design...

Your question is fine but you don't provide any specifics. Your carb is sized correctly for the power you state the motor makes so added cfm from 2 carbs will provide small increase in power, not enough to justify the dollars spent. If you do spend the money for a sheet metal intake designed for you motor combo you would likely see some increase in power but no way near the dollars it will take to make the swap unless you hate money!
