Is it possible to use a draw-thru carb on a twin-screw supercharger?
Weighing some options for a boosted 350, and the only example of a carbureted whipple style supercharger I've found is this one: https://www.hardin-marine.com/p-8129...dard-deck.aspx
Now I know that roots blowers have been using draw thru's for decades, but roots and screw superchargers work differently. Roots pressurize the air/fuel mixture in the intake manifold and screw boosters pressurize it inside itself and are designed for EFI. Would sucking fuel into a screw compressor like that be asking for the supercharger to turn into a bomb? EFI would be easier, yes, but a draw thru is cheaper, so you can spend the extra money on better parts that won't fail. I've read forums where some people hated their draw thru and some people that never had problems with them.
