Craig, if you go AFB on some of your systems you
going to use Carter OEM carbs or the Edelbrock
clone stuff? (Jon Hargrove does not care for the
clone stuff but likes the Carter stuff).

He told me one time he got some Carter stuff to work at over 20 psi boost pressures!

20psi? That's impressive! I was definitely planning an AFB-type varient. The two slickest things about the old TurboFORCE setup was that 1) it fit with everything (A/C, etc, ex HD Alt) and 2) the aerodynamics of the air pressure bonnet were superior to anything else out there that time, maybe even now.

There were 3 features of that bonnet design which resulted in superior performance. 1) the wedge-shaped "diffuser" inlet which smoothly expanded the pressurized air; 2) the "umbrella" shape underneath which mimic'd the HP air cleaner base shape and allowed the air to smoothly flow up and into the carb air horn; and 3) a small vertical vane over the air horn which killed the remaining "spin" in the air resulting in a uniform air pressure over the entire air horn.

It'll be interesting to find out how that design approach works with the AFB-type and EFI.
