Default Check out how much a blowthrough carb cools the IAT!!!!

I created this video to show how much a blowthrough carb on E85 can lower the Intake air temps!

Hope it helps you guys out!

Here is a follow up video with further testing Wet bulb vs Dry bulb and re positioning the sensor in the intake.

Years ago when my Mazda was blow through turbo, after a run the carb would be cold.....Nobody would believe that I didn't need an intercooler. There are still people these days that believe that hype. Even with gasoline, the temp drops considerably. Thanks for taking the time to make this vid.

the **** you got with a carb? Lawnmower? Lol

no, no regrets yet. It’s a street car before it’s a race car. Sumbich drives much better. Response is stupid good.

and a weed eater, and a backpack blower...been pricing dominator efi. It might be cheaper to sell the blower and go with a turbo and carb.
