pushed **** tons of water because it wouldnt stop making boost. went up to 25lbs of boost a few times. its the end of the season so its all coming apart and im building a forged 370 with bigger turbos. getting rid of all the fuel injection because for a descent set of injectors with e85 and alot of power its like $1500 and its costing way too much for fuel injection. going to try blow thru carb this time around because everyone and their cousin has one around here so i will have tons of help. im going to push it into the 8's next year if my tranny and rear end can hold up. it was making alot of power this year and im confident i could have pulled a 9 second slip with this setup if not a low low low ten. radiator will be moved to the bed and ill be doing twin tc70's with the f1 wheel right in the grille non intercooled. ill probably spray meth directly into the discharge of the comp housing. since my turbos will be right up front in the grille my thoughts are the iat's are going to be low since i have fresh air going directly into the engine. thins should be interesting. ill update as i go but i wont have anything major until i get everything sold

Damn dude. You had such a nice set up with a ton of nice parts. Sucks to see you sell it all off.

yeah it was a really nice setup but i can always build more. i have alot of reasons why im going blow thru instead of fuel injection and i could write a whole page about it. in the end i decided it was best to sell all my fuel injection stuff and turbo stuff since i am going to build my motor into a 370 now. the new setup is going to be pretty bad *** though and if all goes well i should actually be able to drive it alot next year and make some 8 sec passes

How much of a height difference is there between the pro flo setup and the carbed setup?

T76s10

iTrader: (6)

Thats a good question lol. Im assuming it will be similiar height. My cowl is 4" so ill clear anything

Im not sure if the carb setup will be the right route but we will see how it works out

Great thread and info

14.7 is not a sweet spot.

It's a necessary evil for emissions when using a catalytic convertor. Trying to target it if you do not have those emissions control devices in place is futile.

The engine will be much happier in the high 13's range

Although with good injectors, getting it to run nicely at stioch shouldnt be hard if you wanted to.

Weird never heard that before. When it was at operating temp at 170 degrees it would idle at 13.5afr

stevieturbo

14.7:1 is only the cleanest burn in terms of emissions. Nothing more.

so target afr's should be high 13's? that's what the engine likes?

As long as you get a good carb its pretty awesome.. Mine runs perfect with the same turbo's you have.

I have been re reading your thread over and over again lol. im talking to a guy on here now about buying some stuff from him. hes got a horsepower innovations carb hes running 9's with same size motor as me. never heard of that carb though

stevieturbo

No, I'm not telling you to target anything. Target whatever makes the engine run and perform best without being too rich.

Every engine will be different.

That applies whether you are fuel injected or carb

Black98s10

So what are the benefits of going carbed over fuel injection? Carbed does seem cheaper and less wiring headache. What size carb would you need for e85/e98?

knuts82

You get a better cooling affect from the carb since it mixes in the intake.. ( you can run a **** load of timing) Im running a CSU e85 blow thru 750 with single needle float bowls its good to around 860hp. With dual needle bowls alot more. And yes its a very simple setup and just plain works.

OP, this build you have here is out of this world and I think the truck sounds better than good in the two videos you posted. I can't wait to see how the new build comes along. I know next to nothing about blow thru setups, so I'll be following along to see if I can learn a thing or two.

knuts hit it pretty much spot on. I don't want to run an intercooler because their just isn't that much room for one. I could make it work if I HAD too but since its not necessary for e85 I would much rather not. I like the cooling effect the carb does over fuel injection. the e85 hits the air much earlier than fuel injection does. fuel injection was getting really expensive and huge injectors for e85 cost a lot of money, good ones atleast. I didn't want to give up e85 though because its so beneficial. simplicity and tons of local support also moved me in this direction. I also wanted to see the difference between the two first hand experience and see which parts I liked about both setups. im picking up a dual needle float and seat blow thru e85 carb and hat this weekend in eau Claire from n204myfix. also I got the complete msd 6010 and harness with vic jr carb for $350 shipped. so my complete carb setup only cost me $1550 and should support atleast as much as my previous fuel injection setup. I don't want even want to add up the money I had into the fuel injection gig not to mention the tuning time... im pretty convinced ill like the carb deal with this new setup. im not all about long trips and fuel economy so I don't care how much gas it eats up.

thanks for the kind words. it does sound pretty bad *** I wish I could have got a full throttle video. I will never get over the way it sounds. I don't know much about blow thru either lol so this will be a learning experience for both of us.
