Rotary Shack doesn't have the best reputation either, so that's not a very strong argument.

looks like the only idiot around here is you with comments like these..
the blowthrought kits work good when properly tuned..
the nice thing about carb'd turbo kits is you dont need tons of knowledge with computers, or ems software.. all you need is a handfull of carb jets and a screwdriver and almost anybody can tune a blowthrough setup!

lots of FAST drag cars (piston motors) run blowthrough setups. Modern carbs are vastly advanced to the typical 2bbl people found on their dad's original 70's 289 mustang.
Fuel injection is surely superior, but thats not to say a carb can't do extremely close to the same level of performance and reliabilty with today's technology implemented into its design.

Yeah, I liked those old Cartech kits. They are outdated by today's standards, but I don't remember anybody who was not happy with them. I wish I could say the same thing about the Camden supercharger kit.
I think you severely underestimate your skills, lol.

a gas regulator for turbo is when using 2 efi fuel pumps for turbo would mean he is using a mallory #4309 low press. return regulator as seen in the pic
and i did work on the housings proabably means they are ported

"Dont[sp] need tons of knowledge" = you don't have the brains to handle modern fuel injection
Nevermind the fact that you're probably using some archaic distributor set-up which uses some crude form of mechanical advance...
As for my comments about your shop...anyone can do a search for "rotaryshack" or "rotary shack" in the Good Guy / Bad Guy subsection and see the evidence for themselves.

The ONLY pro to a carb setup over Fuel Injection is throttle response. Or that used to be the case, but now I think with proper tuning and setup this is in the past.
This is really for people who want to do engine swaps with out messing with wiring, or people who refuse to come to grips with the fact that carbs are out dated.

its a old school 4 port HOME MADE 13B,12A Irons pre 86 rotors(3MM) and housings(Anybody who knows the 12A stuff knows that you can get CRAZY porting those old school 12A IRONS)Not to start and argument but this setup is very common down home(PR)and let me tell you that the power that you get out of this setup its more than enough,i bet that this car its way faster than a lot of modded T2s and FDs in this forum,Its easy to tune like rotary shack said(you only need some jets and a screwdriver)fuel its controlled via the FPR,for timing you just lock the dizzy and your ready to go,back in the 90s that was the way that almost every car down home was setup,they were running faster than anybody else running EMS,Im not saying that his setup its better than any EMS but it works.Joey

All I know is, the dude needs to learn how to spell and communicate properly. Whether it works good or not, the way he describes makes it sounds like him and his 12-yr-old kid brother slapped it together in his backyard lol.

So tell me...
How many of the really fast PR cars run carbs now?
Even the PR racers have embraced EFI, and most of the top cars ARE running EFI.
