Something to think about here, if you are going to supercahrge any engine, and use a blow through the carb set-up, which is the easiest to do, you cannot use a qj carb, or even a thermo quad. Why you ask? I'll tell you, the accelerator pump is out side the air cleaner or bonnet on these carbs, as you pressurize the carb, you also pressurize the float bowl, and thus you will then have more pressure inside the float bowl than out side, where the accel pump is at, you will blow fuel all over the place, that is why you only see holley style carbs on these types of blower set-ups. This is from the old school of been there done that before. We stuck a 1000 cfm on an ATI supercharged big block chevelle and just took it out in the driveway, took the boost up to about 3 to 4 psi, cmae back, opened the hood and found an engine compartment covered with gas. SOme thing else about blow through the carb set-ups, we found jetting had to go down with the blower not up. This gets into a fairly lenghty expalnation so I won't do it here. Jim Burek
I'd buy a set of these heads in a minute, if I could. Please know that I have a lot of respect for Mike T. Without his company, we'd have nearly nothing for our high performance 350" engines. I have spoken with him a number of times in the past, and I will be sending him an E Mail shortly. I posted this idea on another thread, but I really feel that it fits here as well. If Mike is looking for 20 serious buyers, why not post this, or at least mention it on his web site? It costs almost nothing to add a comment about this "project" in his "what's new" section - or wherever he deems appropriate. This would be a great way to get a feel for the real market response, and it's so easy to do. Maybe he's waiting to get other projects completed before tearing into this one?
That would be cool if he has that going on. You going to get that Turbo project on the road this year or are you still on your Honeymoon LOL. Someone needs to bust a nut on their 350 projects and I know you have been working on this for a while. I know I can't do anything right now school has me completely bogged down and money is real tight. I couldn't even get to the track last year because of this and it might just take a while before I get back.
