  • Carb Shop Blower Surface Machining
    With the boosters in place, each body takes its turn in the mill where the surfaces are machined flat and square, providing both a better seal and smooth and precise fuel metering. Usually the surface is cleaned up with one pass. But sometimes another cut is needed to smooth out the high and low spots.

  • Carb Shop Blower Custom Crossover Balance Tube
    Last, but by no means least, is this custom crossover balance tube, which equalizes the float bowl chambers. In a boost-induced environment, too much pressure above the butterflies can create havoc with the fuel in the bowls. This can lead to irregular fuel flow through the boosters, or even no flow at all. This trick-of-the-trade is one reason that the blow-through fuel meters from The Carb Shop are making the power and performance they do.
