Boost prepped Nikki on 1/2 bridge

I just wanted to know of anyones experience with a Nikki on a half bridge all setup for a s4 turbo setup?
Will this perform?
If not what is a suitable replacement that wont break the bank like FI?

Carb is too small. Try a Holly 600, or better a Weber 48.

tell me how to boost prep a nikki, and i will tell you its good enough

i dont know how you can say its too small of a carb, maybe if it was NA, but youve got a turbo forcing air down its throat, it will flow damn good.

I thought he did? Maybe I'm wrong. In that case, 48 IDA.

See, you're okay, now get the damn thing running and see what it does!!! Just keep it to 15 psi (s4 turbo) and you're great...

last i knew he was pretty close, but just didnt have the time to devote to it, im sure he could figure it out shortly if he truely wanted seen as how he is a genius. but there isnt as much demand for it, especially since they are still on backorder with the N/A sterlings. lol
