**Twin Turbo 67 Dart Project**

Cuudak, I hear you about the light hearted smack talking, its all fun. However if you think that your going to fire your car up and it will kick *** with a carb then you may be in for a rude awakening. I have run both carb (quite a few times on different cars) and EFI and I have to say both can be equally frustrating. Fortunately you have many years of mine and Andy's research to get you in the ballpark. Carbs can be a great mystery and have frustrating problems. Just ask my buddy who blows through a carb on his Procharged Ford. He has one jet that is 10 (!) sizes bigger than the rest and has smoked two engines till he figured it out.

As a side note, while your waiting for your big single turbo to spool Maddart will probably be half way down track already. Just sayin'

Its all good!
My Pops is a wiz with Holley carbs. With his 40+ years knowledge and a bunch of research on the "Crutch" among you guys info and others I am confident we can handle the fight for the proper AFR's. I have also read for countless hours in the carb section over on TTF. Lots of "DO's and Don'ts". I never once said I would just start it up and roll with it? I am totally positive that my carb'd engine will start with no issues once I turn the key though. Once the engine has run for a bit and the turbo is on then the tedious process of tuning will begin. It will all come together with a bit of patience and hours of tinkering.

I highly doubt Louis and I will ever see one another in the real world. I live a loooong way from Cali! But if the day ever come it would be something to see I bet. As far as spooling, I have a "Sneeky Pete" on the shelf if its ever needed good for around 75hp. I think that would take care of any low end issues.

We all will see soon enough! I may melt the engine in the process? Who knows? Its all part of the game. I still have a mean 440 for backup LoL!

I am in no way against what Louis is doing! I can't wait to see what numbers he will put down once he gets this beast going. I don't have the cash to spend on dyno time so my tuning will happen at the local tracks and backroads.
