Sooooo...the bugcatcher sits on top of the carbs but doesn't actually supply them? That's the only way I can imagine that works, with the turbos plumbed into the airbox beneath the bugcatcher, and the top of the box sealed so as to not have the boost go to atmosphere resulting in wasted energy as well as air starvation from the negative pressure. Still seems like a lot more show than go, with guys having so much success using single charging (be it turbos or blower, but not both). I'm also given to understand that blow-through carbs that aren't sealed within the airbox are a nightmare to tune, which is why guys tend to go EFI or use draw-through carbs.

But I digress...

There’s a video on 1320 with the guy who built the Camaro and he explains how the engines work on his cars.
