Racing Beat finally got back to me about boosting the Holley. They said that nobody has asked them that before (find that hard to believe) and they recommended finding a wrecked TII and swap everything over. Gee thanks for the info!

But, I have found some solid info on boost prepping the Nikki, and apparently it can provide quite a bit of power. So that is my new route.

I need to get my hands on a turbo, I have one potential deal, but it might be a crap turbo.

Sounds typical of RB! They'll sell you parts and give you no information on them. Anytime I have called and picked their brains about a product (that I have already purchased!) they runaround the question and give me the 'That's proprietary information' BS! They're pathetic!

Here is Jim's official reply:

"No, we never have. In any case, I strongly recommend against a
carbureted turbo engine. They are difficult to tune and tend to be
erratic in performance. If you want a turbo, I suggest you buy a
wrecked turbo and transplant the engine/trans/PCM into your chassis. I
assure you that the mechanical problems with the installation are easier
than the tuning would be, and the results will likely be better.

I replied that I strongly disagree, but since they have little confidence in their carb, neither do I. So I am boost prepping the Nikki instead.

I bet I don't get a reply.
