Re: What size carb with a 142 blower

the last time i went to the track i tried a 600 holley i had at my shop, and i lost .4 in my et and 6 mph, even after jetting it for the most mph, thats why i was thinking i might need a carb bigger then my 650

Re: What size carb with a 142 blower

On a roots type blower application I would run a larger carb. Anything smaller can cause a vacuum under the carb which will cause issues. We run a 1000cfm on a built little 331 ford and a 177 on it. I would run around an 850 or even a 950, the blower will tame it down.

Re: What size carb with a 142 blower

I run a 700 on my 142 on a 350
I called holley and that is what they told me was matched to the supercharger
I think this is what I got

I would guess a 750 would work also

Re: What size carb with a 142 blower

A 750 would be much better than the 600 and would work fine in a street/strip application. If your 600 is a DP, you could switch out the main body to give you a little more air. I think I just read an article that the 600-650-750 all use the same baseplate.
