Agreed. I went with a 10.5 and wouldn't you know it, it mostly fixed my acceleration issue. I still have a fairly rich idle and a lean bog on initial acceleration.
No more blue smoke with the o-rings and shedders back on though!
I'm pretty convinced my tinkering with idle and timing has buggered the transfer slot configuration (causing lean bog) so I'll probably pull the carb off and start from there. Might install the nitrophyl floats as I understand they're less likely to collapse under pressure.
Turbo up and down pipe are fabricated, just gotta attach the wastegate flange and its "out" pipe and we're in business. Had to leave the pipes out of town so it will be a few weeks before final assembly. Will give me time to get the carb right (then mess it up with a turbo) and plumb the already mounted intercooler. Braided oil lines and various "last minute" pieces are in the mail now. Once they arrive we'll get into boost.
