csu is the best, and if u plan on stepping up on power, they will provide tech assistance.

i built one form a holley dp for a friend and it runs very good and the afr is pretty consistent throughout the band.
the engine makes maybe 400-450hp with a ebay turbo and rebuilt iron sbc.
i used the info found on turbomustangs to modify the carb..
the carb does not have brpv. it is the basic setup. and went off the readings of my lc1 to adjust the fuel curve.

I was looking at the mustang forums and there was something about converting an AFB/edelbrock/carter to blow thru.
Back in the 60's they used those on supercharged pontiacs
It seemed like a pretty easy conversion to do.
You need to modify the floats, get rid of the choke and a few other things

CSU period. Buddy ran 7.30's(1/4 mi.) DR car(Procharger) with their 1050 Dominator. I think they're "in the know". Barry Grant can kiss every square inch of my *** and my other friends ***' as well. You can send CSU your carb, tell them what you have and what you're doing and they'll mod it for a lot less. Call them.

easily over 500$ and thats if u send in your carb. but they cant be beat. those guys know there stuff when it comes to blow thru. and they have excellent customer service.
im gonna have to send them my pro series hp when time comes for me to run blow thru. its gonna be cheaper than me blowing up my engine trying to adjust myself at those power levels.i can build for basic blow thru.
n/a and spray carb, no prob for me.
but when it comes time for man size power, gotta use the pro's

buy your own rebuilder 750dp and do it yourself. total cost -$150 or less.

at least try that before you go spending big money on a blowthru carb
