Re: Blow through turbo questions?!?!
CSU blow-thru carb is the way to go...If you dont have the cash for that, then u need to start searchin and reading and hope that u can modify and tune carb urself for blow through operation...Good luck.
I plan to do the same with my car if stick this vortec setup....These are my 2 best options....So pick which one suits yours skills and budget the best.

Well thats one of the main reasons im goin with a carb is because the cheapest EFI i could find was gonna cost me over 3 grand when its all said and done with...now im decent when it comes to tunin a regular carb...but what is different when doin a blow through carb if i was to modify one myself?

Re: Blow through turbo questions?!?!
i had CSU modify my 750 and with only a jet change its running great. no track numbers yet...hopefully first thing this spring with a new shortblock built for boost.
sort of simple compared to some of the efi timing capabilities and fuel programming, but i use a MSD 6AL BTM to retard timing and an aeromotive boost-referenced fuel pressure regulator to up fuel as the boost comes on and i couldnt be happier. pretty simple and straight forward but it works great on my blowthru.
Good luck!

Re: Blow through turbo questions?!?!
I'm selling off my proform 750 carb setup for blow thru along with the extreme velocity carb hat and spacer in the highly polished version with o-rings. Both were basically used for mockup and I took the car to one car show on a trailer, so it has under 3 miles on everything. If you're interested shoot me a PM. I'm swapping combos and sold off the twin turbo kit already, and I need to get a 950 carb now.
The carb is sitting in the original box, etc. I also may still have the twin turbo intercooler sitting on one of the shelves at the shop too if you're interested in buying it all I'd give you a good price.
