not all carbs are created equal, look to the vw guys for some delortos, they are very easy to turbo and tune

Any and I repeat any tuner that is worth a crap does not lock themselves down to only tuning EFI cars. The fastest cars in the world are carb'd.

those cars will probably be limited to a certain altitude and will need to be retuned every time your altitude changes...IMO

your gonna need a new jettable carb set up to turbo that thing. my recomendations would be to buy a blow through carb, adapt to your manifold and turbo from there. however i would never recomend someone to tune it that knows nothing about carb jetting. hit up your local drag strips and search for carb guys and learn from them. carbs are a pain to tune but boy would i love a set of side drafts on my teg
