On a blow through carb setup I think the best way is to have the whole carb enclosed inside a box. I have seen it done other ways, but I know that is the Vortech does it. I believe it is because it then pressurizes the fuel bowls and everything so you dont have a big pressure difference between the venturies and the rest of the carb.

I believe a blow through setup on a carb’d application. I know there were a few people running it here.

Should go back even later in time to steam powered. Coal and Wood mixed with H20 is the power

i’m planning on going blowthrough when i get things inorder for my twinturbo 355 build

not sure if i’ll be using an edelbrock or a holly DB nor what cfm size

i always here blowthrough carbs need less cfm(cfm is doubled…600 carb =1200) then the naturally aspirated counterpart but i also seen a \*\*\*\*load of mustangs(302) with 750 and 850 blowthrough carbs…  
and buicks in general love more carb over other engines…
