I'm building to run E85, just not there yet. Stick it on and tune until you get it right.

like torkair said , bolt in on and tune . IMO only way to know/get it right

Check on here these guys know the E85 stuff and how to tune it.

I will admit the best thing to do is get a air fuel ratio sensor and use the lambda scale to tune with. You can contact Horse power innovations(http://www.horsepowerinnovations.com/) and talk to Eric and also talk to Mark Sullens (http://www.marksullense85carburetors.com/) as well. But keep in mind that these two individuals build these for a living or very close to it, And may not offer to much advice because of that. If they build it they would bend over backwards to offer advice. Mark would only charge $475 to do a Dominator conversion and that pretty much what you already spent in parts alone. From my conversations with him and Eric they say in SOME case's the QF metering blocks are doable but would rather convert there own blocks to there spec's. QF has no idea what size motor its going on to start with and in most case's there too big. At this point I would get a A/F gauge of some sort( innovatemotorsports.com) and see where you are for starters. I also recommend to leave your timing and spark plugs the same as your gas set up. And if you go to Marks web site and go to the forum board he has a posting of the A/F chart that you should use to tune your car. Remember your starting point for jetting should be 33% larger or close to that. Then aftr messing around with it Send it to Mark OR have Eric build you one and see how much better they do.

thanks for the replys, iv posted several places hoping to get some input, ill have to test er out and post back............

guess i need to know about diy a/f meter and get started, iv never used one before with race-gas, guess ill have to get busy

If you're interested in DIY that is truely useful & functional check these guys out: www.wbo2.com

I bought & built a 2Y unit that has served tuning purposes in my own and a few buddies' vehicles, with great results. Even being the cheaper unit, it has multi-channnel inputs & logging options. Between the features, low price of the kit, and the satisfaction of building it yourself... the rewards can't be beat!

I see where you tried to get some info from Mark. He's sometime pretty rude. But you have to understand where he's coming from.

yea, not sure where his head is, i thought it was a open forum ................... is he the only person who replies there ?

I've been running a 1050 3 circuit that I converted to corn. I would.really recommend a wideband o2 meter. It really takes out the guess work. I tried running with the PV's but it would go lean on the topend. I also blocked the intermediate circuit, I had to because the meeting blocks I used are 2 circuit.

LOL...

It's like anything else performance... If you want to be on top of it you have to learn it...

Otherwise you have to sit back and make fun of it because you don't

Check this link out could be a reasonable priced setup for e85 tuning
btw it includes a bosh o2 that costs about 85 bucks by itself

Get the innovate LC-1. not much more money and a best product. Autometer has some good stuff as well. check summit and jegs on pricing.
