    This was using the GT-55 91mm turbo that I had and a new air-to-water intercooler with 21 psi of boost. Inlet temps were 88* :eek: and so far coming from the S480 turbo and looking at the graphs, the GT-55 is making 200 more RWHP at lower RPM's and much faster. This is still with 75/75 jetting too from my "crutch" carb mods and still stock fuel bowls but with bowl extensions. He is hoping to run the car this weekend and better his best of 8?? :D He will send me the graph later and I will post that to show.

    Brent, what is your 'crutch' mod exactly? Got a link to a thread you already explained it in?

    John, thanks man for the kind words. I am just doing what I do in another form, that's all. It is funny that the way I am doing the BRPV gets kinda picked at but what about when MSD was totally analog and no form of custom doing your timing, or what about boost controllers that are all controlled via solenoids and a timing computer :noidea:..............kinda like the air pump and MSD Digital RPM controller "JUST" to open the BRPV 's under a desired RPM range :huh:. It's all good though as there are all sorts of carb builders and modifiers out there and there are alot of satisfied customers all around as well. I am just glad that I could help you with your carburetor and hopefully if you do another one, I can help with that one too if need be.

    Quicksilver, get some ET's next week if you can man and gie me a shout when you can.
