I don't know if he's carbed or efi,but I bet he can point you in the right direction.You probably won't find much blow through carb help here.
What's the VIN of your Ty?

Hate to say it, but I have dumped a ton of coin into my 4.3, or I would be switching to the V8 too. Too many 10 sec trucks are breaking too often, and as much as I like being the underdog.........I like reliable speed more.
As a side bar, if you don't twin turbo that baby your wasting your time....see Erue at www.turbotime.us I hear he has some smoking deals. BTW, why not go twins AND nos...too much is never enough! :rock:
As much as people on here hate to hear about a truck being de-6'ed, if no one ever tries anything new, we'll never gewt anywhere.
Now I'm going to put on my fire suit, and Carbman, I suggest you buy yourself one too if you plan to post here.

I have the TT small block and its carbed, works great tuning is sometimes a pain you actually have to get dirty to richen it up,
pros are its cheap, easy to tune, when your in boost its just like EFi you can get a perfect A/F. at 7 psi mine is 11.5
cons are I hate starting it, it floods easy, has no choke, you have to drill jets to get the tune you need, off boost MPG SUCKS my AF is 10.1 when driving around,
if I never opened the hood and jsut drove around(if I didnt flood it) you would think that it was FI it idles great doesnt stutter off the line works really well and all for less than you can buy the GEN 7 for. to go FI you need an intake, TB, injectors, sensors, EFI program. mine will be FI soon but probably with the other motor.
as far as chopping it up who cares its yours.

oh yeah def buy a wideband for tuning with the carb makes life easy
as far as turbos you dont need anything huge I had 60-1's with .96 A/R on the exhaust side and got 8 psi by 2500 RPM and made 820 HP at 12 psi of boost good enough for 9.53 in denver

Hate to break it to you. But thats why it blew up.
On the V8 turbo thing I'm all for it. I just wouldn't do it with a carb. But I guess that just comes down to personal preference.

If you think a V8 is the answer to reliability you may want to consider the fact that youll be snapping more trannies, front and rear drive shafts. 10 sec vehicles are gonna break no matter if theyre V6, V8 or 4 cylinders. Ive never met anyone with a fast ride that would say it was really reliable. You never know what the hell is going to happen. We had a 95 Vette with a supercharger that made 600 HP. The 700 could not hold up no matter who built it or what they used. Sure it would last for a while but when you race youre gonna break things.
