Blow thru carb.?
I am building a twin turbo 355 and I am going to run a carb and I need to know how to convert one to a blow thru. Or, of one from holley or demon that is already blow thru. Thanks

This is what I'm going to follow when I setup a holley 600 double pumper for blowthrough:

Also, the Carb + Boost forum at Turbomustangs has a lot of info about this:

thanks for the links. i have checked them out and learned a lot. they say something about sealing the throttle shafts. do you know if the proform base might be okay for this or does it need different seals. thanks

I am not sure. Someone told me there was an AFPR that had a vacuum to it to register boost pressure and would add fuel pressure to compensate. I have not found it yet. Still looking. If someone knows please help. Thanks

To up the fuel pressure, I plan on getting a Carter Strip Mech. fuel pump and running a boost reference to it like they did here:
