That should eq1ualize the carb pressure and make sure it keeps getting fuel under boost.

Not a bad idea but as is i have richened my air fuel mixture very heavily to hopefully account for some of the extra air being pushed into the carb

D/C to an A/C motor = death.It will run for a while till it heats up and burns.Plus you wont get the full efficiency because of the lack of voltage.Have fun!
