I hate to sound like i am bashing this kid but with all the information available on the web and through publications its absolutly rediculous to not have the know-how to make a combo work right.

i think everybody is forgetting this isnt as easy as just giving to somebody for a "tune" .A blow through set up is a pain in the ass to get right. Ive had mine for the past year and still not running the way it should.I dont run speacial gaskets, just normal Fel Pro's.
What was the stock compression before the blower???Whats jets are in the primaries and secondaries????

you have a point, its not easy. But have you gone out and beat on your car and blown it up. NO........My point is that you should make it work before you beat the piss out of it.
im not stupid, i know how to tune a carb. i was running much lower than stock base timing and was running much higher than needed octane gas. i was slowly creeping up on the timing and checking the plugs after a nice run, everything seemed fine, it was running rich.
that video was the first time ive taken it past 5K rpm. only the paeenger side head blew the gasket.
its my guess that my heads arnt very straight. beeing that i bought them used off ebay and have put many nitrous passes on them with some (not a lot) overheating.
and as for go get a "tune", im not rich, im a college student with a part time job at a pizza place. i dont have the spare cash to have it put on a dyno and pay someone else to tinker with my car.
Which is one reason why i decided to sell the blower and just go with a stout H/C/I combo for now. being that i have stock heads, ill probably be making about the same HP with some AFRs or ported edelborcks that i was making with the blower. i just wont have that nice "WHEEEEEE" anymore.

Bad-Ass! I hope you don't give up Woody. That's a damned nice combo sitting there.
The boost referenced fuel regulator is a great idea by the way. Of course, none of it means much unless you can find a way to look at your AFR or at the very least, EGT. You got any buddies that have a wideband you can borrow or something?
