    How well would these work for a street/strip, Blow thru/crutch/brpv setup?

    They are ideal for street strip (and blow through) because they are tuneable without having to crack the carb open. I can set the third circuit to flow a bunch of fuel so a fairly big tuneup change can be made from the outside if changing boost a couple psi. You can also add or take away fuel from one particular corner of the carb/engine if the hat causes signal variance from corner to corner or side to side.

    There is still a lot to learn with tuneups using these new blocks but so far they are awesome.

    Do these work with your carbs? I'm looking at doing twins onthe rambler if we can package them.

    Yes, but there are mods required to the carb's main body. Blow through has proven to be a little more challenging than NA but they do work, and work well!

    Because the air bleed is on the metering block and not under the hat, I have to re-route the bleed and put it in the main body for blow through. No big deal with an HP main body, but a royal pain with a non-HP body (not enough meat to work with on non-HP bodies)

    probably a state secret but what sorta mods are required on the main body to fit your metering blocks?

    LOL not a state secret, they need a second booster installed. Its a tube more like the 3rd circuit on a Dominator but in a different spot. The exact spot varies on the application.

    Now for blow through I also have to relocate the intermediate air bleed from the block to the body so its "under the hat".

    Eric I took my car out to the track with your new metering blocks for the first time Saturday 6/22. I ran a best of 5.96 @ 121.25 in the 1/8. how much adjustment is there in the 3rd circuit? I have a pop at the end of the 1/8. I checked the plugs and they looked ok. i'm running a water/meth injection system. could I be having a ignition problem? I using a msd 6al. is that strong enough to light off the spark with water/meth being injected. car runs good. i'm making 20 lbs of boost. I opened up the turbo manifolds and i'm getting a lot more exhaust to turn the turbine. I did adjust the new circuit 1 turn. how much more can I open it. I don't have my instruc

    finally got my lm1 hooked up. found I had a good fuel curve but a stuck waste gate. I logged 28psi boost. i'm lucky I didn't fry the engine. the water / meth injection works good probably saved the engine. ran a 5.790 at 122.13 and let off at the 1/8. carb looks to be working great. air fuel curve looked good even at 28psi. I found out my turbo manifolds didn't have the outlets for the wastegates machined out big enough. I got them opened up to match the waste gate now. I should be able to control the boost.

    Are you still doing E85 blow through carburetor modifications?
