carbed turbo
 

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.

Oh yea. It'll go faster.

You have a stock block still? :evil:

What info are you needing?

Yes still running a stock block and crank good rods and pistons .030 over afr 185 heads.

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 there and eventually going back.
