Has any one on here tried running a blow threw carb setup?

Nope. Been tempted to sell all my EFI stuff, but not brave enough I guess.

The carbs have come such a long way for blow-thru applications. They give incredible ease of maintenance and reliability. The power can definitely be had going that route.

My current combo is a holley 174 roots type charger with a holley hp1000+cfm carb a/f only changes one point from summer to winter love the combo gets 17mpg with a c4 and 3.55 gears at ten pounds of boost and ran 6.85 at 107mph with a 1.73 60ft at bama two weeks ago spinning like mad . But always looking for ways to go faster.

In fear of bending the throttle plates at high boost levels, wondered if anybody here has gone this route

They wont bend with boost coming from the top, Only a backfire would bend the plates. High boost would possibly keep them from closing. But with the rite blow off valve this even shouldnt be a problem. P.S. Are you going to enclose the carb or use a hat??

Been thinking of buying the f1 procharger and the carb encloser and turning up the boost a little bit. They say the f1r fits the 302 and 351 motors is this true? Would really like to build a BBF 460 stroked out to 514 and put an f3 on it but fabbing up the mounts might be the hard task.

true.a good friend had a blow thru car last year that we got sorted out.we took it to bristol when he first got it and the tune was way off...but it did go some 12.4@156mph though on a drag radial:D:D


once the car got sorted it went consistent 5.3's in the 1/8 and was still on drag radials too.


blow thru works great IMO

blow thru works great.

:yup: But the key is in the carb.

I've seen guys try to do it with off-the-shelf Holleys and it no worky.
Spits, coughs, stumbles and then the power-valve goes.

Is it better to box the carb or use a hat w/ a blow through? I'm going n2o on my carbed mod motor, but I may do this later on...

no problem if I can answer or help I will, if I cant I know people.
Yes you can have your own carb modded to work in most cases.There is always a chance that it could be better to sell yours and buy one allready done or pick up a used carb that fits the combo you have.If you follow the links and ask those guys any tech questions they are the pros and will be glad to help you.
