    Just out of curiosity...how come you chose to use this on a carbed set up instead of fuel injection?

    Main reason was I was tired of all the electrical problems I had with mine since the day I bought my truck.
    Second reason was because when I swapped to a carb, I was still running nitrous. It was considerably cheap to go the carb route than it was to upgrade the fuel injection.
    Lastly I can tune it myself because it's easier for me to understand. I've had EFI live twice now and I can fumble my way around but I don't fully understand it. Call me a simpleton if you must, but it is what it is

    Then since I made the switch to boost, it only made since to stick with the carb. I still like it. And, there are alot of cars that still go very fast with carburetors. Fuel injection is definitely the way of the future, but there is nothing wrong it a well tuned carb. I love mine

    That's cool man it's just i never seen a boosted ls with a Carb, pretty unique set up. How did you like it and what are your new plans for the truck?

    I love it. I bought the carburetor from Kevin @ CSU. I sent him the specs of my truck and he built it specifically for my setup. Bolted it on, set the idle and went driving. It took minimal work to get it just right.

    Plans are now to finish my 347 and get some t6 hot pipes and a probably an s475 for the time being. Possibly upgrade to a larger turbo down the road if I'm unable to reach my goals

    How are you fueling it? Stock tank? Fuel cell? I'm with you on being much more simple. I'm ready to yank all the EFI stuff and swap to carb because I'm tired of having to retune to adjust anything.

    Sorry. Yes, I have a 20gallon fuel cell in the bed. Aeromotive a1000 fuel pump with -10 feed and -8 return. Hoping to max out the pump with the new setup.
