Blow throughs are set up to be run with boost referenced fuel pressure regulators. So every psi of boost fuel pressure goes up 1psi to compensate. Ive see mid 30psi of boost on blow throughs if thats enough for you. No they arent set up super rich, ive seen a/f curves that look identical to efi if tuned right. Blow through ftw!
was clearance an issue? im wanting to build my motor up, but its carb'd, and i wanted a supercharger, or a turbo, but with a carb, id have to cut a hole in my hood or modify it. im trying to build a sleeper, a hole in my hood would sorta defeat the purpose.
im sure if you get a 3 or 4 inch cowl hood there would be no problem because im prety sure they make those superchargers that setup so its like a turbo or even go turbo there is no need for a hole in your hood
@fouroh8 efi is for drivability, not number queens on the dyno. If your carb is tuned for that much boost, its going to be a fat pig off the turbo. tis life with linear enrichment.
you could try a procharger. You get the best of both worlds. The only draw back is that it is still belt drivin. So it takes power to make power. But you should look into a procharger...
stupid question, but do you need a special carb on a turbo setup?? i got a 454 built 550hp 671tq. thought about adding a turbo or two small turbos under the truck. think my holley 4780 800cfm carb would hold about 10 psi boost? of course i think i am gonna do the e85 kit to help keep tabs on backfires.its a 1990 chevy stepside w/ 5 speed trans

@ericcasas1974 carbs are easy to make numbers with, but it will never drive as good as a well tuned efi car. period.

I don't know much about turbos with carbs. Sorry if i ask dumb questions.
Do you have to set the carb up really rich? Is there a limit on how much boost with a carb?
