single turbo +carb+big cubes=??

REALLY? C&S Specialties can build a carb to handle the fuel needed.

as far as tuning, with the right carb it is a piece of cake. once mine was tuned by me on a dyno, about 5 pulls to get it right, the adjustments I made were minor and easy. now, my car was a s/b and only made about 800 to the tires, but this was 4 years ago and technology in carbs is better now than it was then.

for a low budget racer or street deal, I think its the way to go

didn't say they couldn't build the carb. Hell, I've seen a 4500 carb with alky work with twin 91's but even they said the tuning window is smaller than with FI. Just my 2 cents from a nobody in Texas.

you Texas nobodies....I swear......

im just looking......

Wow I didn't expect this post to still be here , all helpful I'm still considering a single but I have a standard bolt pattern A-460 block so I don't know how much psi I can run before I shoot the gaskets out of it.

A lot more than you think. The deck is so much better on the bb's than the sb's it's ridiculous.

So what's alot more ? I was told 18 or 20 psi , anything more and it won't take it for very long

20psi with twin 88's on a bbf should run 4.80's easy. How fast you want to go?

4.80s would be good for awhile , is that mid to low 8's in a 1/4 . We don't do any 1/8 here

I would be thinking that 4.8 would be in the 7.4-7.5 range or faster depending on setup.

That would work

Boost and fuel injection just go together. If you can afford an 8 second car you can afford fuel injection.

Be done with it and get yourself a fuel injection setup.

You could run a big single with this setup. Like someone said, a 106, 114, 118, 122 can all do the job. It won't take much boost to make the HP you are looking for. And it could be tuned to run on pump gas. Just keep the boost low. Thing is, that motor will make boost very easy. Twins are always better because they can handle more flow, but a single will work.

Don't know much about carbs. Can't help you there.
