Blow through carb?
I can get a good deal on a used procharger right now, the guy has everything but he said I will need a new carb and my holley 750 vs will not work. I can see why it would not work but why would a 750 DP not work? I am running a 350 with 10.5 to 1 compression, AFR 195 heads, Edelbrock performer RPM manifold, Comp cam 280H and a holley 750 VS right now. I am running a TCI Transmission with a 2500 stall converter and 373:1 gears out back. I am thinking of running mild boost around 6 to 8 psi...would I need to change anything? Like compression ratio? What would be a good carb for this combo with the blower?

Yea, you'd need to change your compression ratio. I'd recommend soup dish forged pistons. Bathtubs.
That cam isn't ideal for a blower either. I'd go with a nice wide split pattern, long LSA as well.
