    I beleive we have disagreed on this before.
    :D

    They say one pound of boost is possible at 80+mph So in the 1/4 I should see some pick up. In the 1/8 not much.

    Here is an article on that

    Blow through supercharging requires either an air tight box that completely surrounds the carb (base plate too) or special mods to the air bleedsand bowls. They all have to be vented to the pressure and not to atmosphere.
    If you have 1 atmosphere on the fuel bowls and 1.5 atmospheres down the air horn all you are going to do is blow bubbles in the fuel bowls.
