hey guys, been away for a while but im back. I am thinking about going with a blow through carb setup on my 72 camaro w stock bottom end LS3. For those that dont remember my 72, I set it up with a FAST EZ efi set up on a vic jr. Well the EZ isnt compatable with boost, so it would have to go. That means carb or miles of wiring to set up a stand alone ecu and harness.
One of my main concerns would be the front drive set up( vette front drive w a upper Kwik bracket for the Vintage air. That makes for a pain in the butt with either a twin screw or procharger/vortec set up. Turbo seems to be the way to go, but I know NOTHING about how to set one up. I am assuming no more than 6-8 lbs boost on the stock bottom end and like I said earlier ,it would be on a blow through carb set up. That seem like a recipe for disaster if set up wrong from the first crank up. Any insight would be a huge help in making my mind up.
Just to throw this out there ,ive also considered an LS3 based 427 shortblock with my top end (stock LS3 heads and the EZ EFI) to make some more get out and go, as a safer alternative to boost. What u all think?

There is one with a procharger. I want to do a procharger as well. But small steps, a blow tgrought carb, the msd box can pull timing with the map sensor setup.

Not sure if you'd be interested, but these guys make a setup similar to the EZ EFI that is boost compatible.

I am leaning hard toward the 427 stroker w a 150 shot. Scoggens has a 427 LS3 forged w GMPP ported heads that should give high 500s NA. Add a strong shot and " instant street hero" with a simple carb sert-up. That being said, I may have an LS3 with 100 mls for sale and a fast EZ set-up up for grabs soon as well. This is a factory crate engine w a cam swap. The heads still have the factory seal. Stay tuned for future undates!!!

If ur interested, im currently working on a new setup for accesory drives for swaps. Way more compact,inboard and way lighter than those other brackets out there now.
I currently updated my design. But i got a new ligther improved version now with powet steering. My new truck will be the new tezt bed for those parts.
Im designing em with compact, lightweight,clean appearance and twin turbos clearance in mind

I am running a 950cfm blow thru carb built by Pro Systems. great company to deal with for ordering and tech support. my carb cost $890 and all I had to do was drop it on the motor and set the floats and idle. the biggest thing I had to do for a blow thru was make sure to have the fuel presure to match the boost, for that I used a Aeromotive A1000 pump and boost ref regulator.
