Yep, built one earlier this year. 377 SBC, FastBurn heads, 230/230 cam, and a T76GTS turbo. The carb and hat came from csucarbs.com. I used an A1000 fuel pump and 132-02 fuel pressure regulator. The engine made 930 fwhp and 1070 ft-lb at 18 psi. The coolest part was how easy it was to tune. We literally pulled the carb out the box, bolted it to the motor, then made anywhere from 480 hp (3.5 psi) up to 930 hp. No jetting changes whatsoever. I highly recommend it.

I belive this is called Blow Through when you turbo or use a cen supercharger

You have to get a "RamAir" like box around all of it that seals the carb

Thats a really easy way to explain it
