most people are surprised that a turbo and a carb. work very well together.
there has even been a documented 1000+rwhp motor with e85 and carburators. it works
maybe if a LSx carb forum is added, it will attract alot of the blow thru enthusiasts found on other sites.
or even old tymers who are mean at tuning double pumpers and other carbs

Right on brother, we have a Blow Through Carbed GN we are fixing to get running. I am here looking at doing a Blow Through Carb LSX setup myself.
I have a friend at the dealership with a new LSX block he bought and is now looking to sell. Not sure if I want to go all out right off the bat. A carbed section would be a big help.

I vote yes! I think it's a great idea. It should provide a lot of information to those who are thinking of trying it, and they wouldn't have to go through all the "efi is better" posts just to get the answer to a question. I'm kidding of course! In my case, an LS2 with L92 heads, carb and a mild cam in an early Ford, I still need all the help I can get!

I vote YES!!! This would really help alot of people who want to do a carb setup but it is hard to find info, and also it could help the guys that have the stuff and cant get it just rite, ive seen alot of those post over the last year or so it is better now than it was " i did it a lil over 2 years ago and couldnt find ANYTHING"... Sounds like a great idea....

Hey guys I made a post in the "User support and Resources" forum. Not sure if that is the correct place though.

I voted yes! I'm building a 93 LX coupe with a 383 ls1. Demon carb, Vic jr, T-rex cam and the msd 6010 box. When I needed help getting it fired up with the ls1 that was in it when I got it, this kind of sub forum would of helped a lot. I ended up getting it going and then pulled the motor to build this 383. Which we will start building this weekend. But when it time to put it back in the car and get it running, I could use some help and advice, I'm sure.

And a lot of the younger guys do not know much about carbs and would be very helpful to people like that also.

Finally, I have been running a carb on my LS1 for over three years now with no real forum for sharing ideas. This is one time where my vote actually counts.
