carb turbo for drift. good or bad?
I have been getting mixed respones on this. Using a carberator for drifting or road race is bad idea because the floats are constantly moving.

What do you think?

BS. Carbs work just fine.

Why would you need a turbo for drifting?

Most drift cars use a big wheele diameter... usualy 18's. Unless you have 488's in your rear end, you need the turbo for the HP to keep them spinning. Also you need to be able to spin them faster at the blip of a throttle, incase your are in the middle of a turn and need to swing the back.
