Ok. turbo gurus- I picked up a PFM twin intercooled and twin turbo set-up for my jet boat that feeds through a single 4 bbl carb plenum tucked between the turbos- What size carbs were originally installed on these set-ups, and what modifications are necessary, if any? I didn't get a carb with this, and need to know what it will take to feed my 455 and keep it alive. Anyone? Thanks, Stan

Being a drawthrou set up the carb wont need any modifications and a single 850 holley should do the trick.

455? That looks like a BBChevy in your picture. Go with an 'annular discharge' 850 Holley. Index the primary powervalve to the 'load side'. You can start with 82 jets and a 2.5 PV in the primaries, and 85 jets with the PV plugged in the secondaries. Run it 'very easily' and check the spark plugs OFTEN. You gave no indication of boost levels, nor internal motor specs, so I just "sent you in the right direction. FUEL and SPARK TIMING will make or break your motor.
