Feeding fuel to a 406 w/ S372 turbo...
I am researching the possibility of using this Borg Warner S372 turbo that I have sitting around, with the 406 I am in the process of building. Which brings me to fueling it...
It will be a blow through carb setup. Calculations call for an 850 carb n/a, but I don't know if that much cfm will be needed for a boosted application, any ideas there?
Any suggestions on fuel pump(s) Internal/external? single/dual?

I called Lonnies performance as he builds them for a variety of applications. I switched to 4th gen plastic tank. Basically Y them together. Bunch of fittings needed and then need a way to activate the second pump, usually either a wot switch or boost pressure switch aka hobbs

Id like info on this as well,
oh btw, the set up i'm currently trying to accomplish will be using a 750 holley dp. from what I have read and from talking to other locals, the magnafuel external pump is a great route ( quite pricey) but never the less I heard its a great pump. I'm looking into holley blacks as well. what horespower number are you trying to achieve?

I kinda want to go the route of capping off the stock fuel lines and putting a feed and return fitting at the bottom of the tank. I'm not 100% on what I will do as of yet though.

I don't really have a horsepower goal, but squeeking into 9's would be cool I suppose.
