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.

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??
