I have a better idea just get a carb big enough to handle the job now the 48 ida would be a little small but a 2 foot 4 inch IDA should do it. Just find a damn float for that

Yea I had a brain fart is didnt put two and two together when I saw that weber 10000.

But the 10k would be 10 meters not sure what the conversion was on that, but I think its over 30ft a barrel.

a turbo that size couldn't be spooled by a 12A, and you would have to be careful because it would suck full grown people through it. mmm.... meat chunks in the chamber.
