Hey I don't know about changing the carb however I read in Chevy Hi Po that they got a gain of about 15+ hp with a Double pumper over a Vac secondary..............I am using a street avenger vac second....


Hey where are you from in Ohio......I live in chillicothe.

nah you can't really. They don't have the provisions for the second pump.

VS carbs can be made to work with blowthrough turbo setups. you have to either enclose the whole carb in a box or boost reference the vacuum bell. Of course..you'd be much better off with a DP setup anyway. Less to worry about.

ok,,,I wasnt to concerned with the second acc.pump,,,I was just curious what it would take to mechanically open the secondaries,,
I was thinking that i would make the secondary jets real big to give the extra amount of fuel for the boost,,,I guess I just thought the big jets would make up for the pump not being there.
I already have a secondary block to use jets instead of the metering plate or whatever the thing that was there is.
How do u boost reference the vacuum horn anyway? I was just trying to save some money by not buying another carb,With the cost of the turbos and whatnot

vacuum bell i mean
my bad
