Hi,
I did not see a thread exactly about this, but may have missed it. Does anyone kow of a source of information regarding the use of forced induction on a carbureted application? I have a 468 BBC, solid roller cam, ported heads, good bottom end parts running 10.3:1 compression. I want to know how many pounds of boost I can get away with, without changing my pistons (I'm guessing 5 -6 pounds) Which in my opinion is not worth it at anything less than 9 pounds. I am willing to change my pistons if the payoff in HP warrants it. I would also like to know how I can increase the fuel rate as boost levels increase, do I just use a vacuum FMU? I know there are blow through carbs out there as well as carb box's. I have never had a turbo on my vehicles, so as you can tell I need to be pointed in the right direction. I am pushing about 650 HP right now but would like to see more, maybe in the 800 - 900 HP range. Any help you all can provide is greatly appreciated.
I am not interested in a roots type blower due to the how tall the motor would be with it. I have no desire to cut my hood, and it also rains a lot here in Hawaii.
Aloha :burnout:
