I just put togather a blow thru setup trust me your going to be some tuning on that carb and that encloser is going to be a pain getting into everytime beside for that kind of money you can get a good blow thru carb like csu or quick fuel or convert a carb to blow thru yourself

Those boxes are a pain, cheaper to get a proper blow through carb setup with an extreme velocity hat

Its not different (functionally) than a hat. There are no passages that the box pressurizes that a hat would not.

For Blow-thru carb stuff, might want to jump over to theturboforums.com
