question about carb for turbo setup
I was wondering if using a 45mm Weber Dco carb would work okay with a turbo setup.. yes i am refering to blowthru.. and it will more than likely be a stock turbo.

do some research on tuning side drafts and you'll understand. if you can't tune the carb then forget about boosting it
just some warning.. it isn't easy.

i had a turbo on my 68 impala with a 4 barrel carb.. and i didnt do much to tune it.. so i think i can handle this.. especially since i am a mechanic.. but thanks for the warning.

if the dyno wasnt setup properly do you know they can give you an incorrect figure, also some people pursuade ,as you would want to say, the numbers on dynos.

700rwhp is completely possible from a 12a. Rob at rotaryshack makes 730rwhp out of his. made 550rwhp using the stock nikki carb. but to go way past that you either need a nice blow thru holley like the mustang guys use or Stand alone fuel injection with ITB's.

funny thing.. a thread about blow-thru carbs and we are to read his sig...
which makes no mention of any type of fuel induction system whatsoever, unless its that mystical "port bolish" that seems to be popular with the young-uns lately.

my favorite is still the PORT BOLISH
and if it's just a greddy T88 then he's gotta have that boost cranked to get 700rwhp. it's not an 88mm turbo like some think. hell the people with gt42's and 47's are running crazy boost to reach this number.
i'm not buyin in to it yet.

it really all depends on how much you want to spend and the patience you have. i love having my 12a turbo setup, but i won't lie... sometimes i wouldn't mind having a TII motor in there purely for the fact that i could just slap on a 62-1 and make 350rwhp no problem. with the 12a i am forced to tear it open and port it. BUT, when the 12a is ported with that same turbo i can hit 400rwhp at the same boost level. sooooo, asdflkaslfkjaslk;jflkasjfk it's a toughy
if you have the funds go for the TII swap.
