Carburetor question

	In a strictly drag racing application, will I need to replace the carburetor to a 'blow-through' unit if boost is regulated to no more than 5 psi?

Honestly, I don't know enough about carbs. Call a carb guy. I'd recommend Mark Whitener: https://www.facebook.com/lightningracingcarburetors/ I don't know him personally but I know his track record from Yellow Bullet. You can also try BLP: http://www.blp.com/

I was planning on speaking with the Holley/Pro-Comp rep. Thanks for the links!

I spoke with the ProForm tech guy today. I have one of their 950 cfm drag race carbs. He said that they are good for 7-8 psi. So no special 'blow-through' rebuild is needed with their set=up, as long as boost stays within that range or lower.
