Update on my Boosted I6
there are carbs that are meant for blow through setups. you can also make any carb work with turbos. i am far from a carb expert but i have done quite a bit of reading on it when i was going to turbo my 600 sportbike

look at images. explains carbs in a nutshell. holleys, aisins, etc, all have a float vent deal setup for whatever the ---- reason is, and boost hasn't effected this (technically it will boost into the float increasing fuel pressure, but rarely does)

And what of the second?
Plans on the motor are to Stud the head, mild cam, forged pistons, ARP Rod bolts, and just a fresh rebuild. Set it up to hold 10-12psi. The car used to be a Street/Strip car with drag suspension and slicks, skinnys, ect... but we jus want to drive it now so a boosted 6 will stand out and still make some power.
