I would use E-85, But it seem that using twice as much fuel would cost the same as running race fuel.

if it uses that much e-85 then it is tuned wrong, I am getting 8 miles to the gallon with my car

So is it better to change over a carb or just get one that is set up for E-85 as I do have several that I can change over if it would work out.

Also what other changes need to be made to the fuel system to make this work, I don't plan on streeting the car so that is not an issue for me. I just want to go fast and not have to pay $7 a gal for race fuel.

The quick fuel metering blocks are nice, I personally won't switch a carb over again, just the amount of time fucking around and tuning I had to do took to long, I would have been better off just buying a carb built for my motor, I am going to buy an sv1 from patrik at prosystems this year, I will be running friday at show and go with my carb and then switching over to the sv1 on saturday for a back to back comparison. what pump and fuel lines are you running now?

1/2 Aluminum and a Mallory comp 140 for the engine and another 140 doe the spray with a plastic fuel cell.

pump is a bit small, how much power is the motor making? there is a guy in new ulm making around 600 horse and he was running a 140 pump, i think it was an aeromotive, not sure though, he ran it for quite a while, it was a bit small though, the line is plenty big though, fuel cell is fine, just remove the foam if it is more than a couple years old, or replace the foam with new, also run a 50 micron or courser filter, if you have a paper filter just make sure to replace it once a month, the ethanol will loosen up the glue in the paper and you will start seeing it in the carb, it looks like someone (maybe ramair) took your bowls off and jerked off in them. the nitrous pump is plenty though. I gaurantee if you run this shit and get it right you will wonder why you didnt do it years ago

[MR.hp]

I will think about doing this if I stay with a high comp. engine. If I unload some parts I may get a good E-85 carb and not mess around making one, But I am sure I could get one of the many I have work.

Sounds sweet.....

My motor is out and Brian at r&r is porting the heads.

[fastkeen]

What are the motor specs? Are you going to up the no2 shot?

[shagwag]

Its a pump gas 476. Last year it made 716hp 636t. I'm not upping my nitrous, I go through the traps at 7600rpm right now and I don't want to gear it any different. Its just a GM block, GM crank, eagle rods, (it had stock rods last year) and je pistons. The heads are Brodix bb2 s
