    Just found out I have 2 stations near me with it. What mods to I have to do to my blow through set up to run it?

    Depends on power level. larger needle & seats, jetting, and pvcr mods to start with. Make sure pump is up to the task. Air bleeds, and emulsion circuit may also need a look. I ran mine with the stock metering blocks (other than the pvcr's), and had decent luck, but wasnt making a bunch of power.

    I believe you'll need about 30% more fuel overall, so the task of the fuel pump is that much higher. As noted by Mnlx. :) Then everything else he said too... lol :)

    I'm running it on my iron headed 9:1, non-IC, turbo small block. So far so good. It's only been on the dyno so far, but for cheap race fuel it's great.

    I just purchased a E85 Blow Through carb from Eric68 (Horsepower Innovations). I bought all of the parts to convert it myself, and in the end decided for what I had into it, I was better off selling what I had and buying one complete. Eric has been TOP NOTCH with support and help. I would highly recomend him...

    I run E-85 in my twin turbo Dart, but I run EFI. I did however do a test for components and put some E-85 in a jar and dropped a few bits of material you may find in a fuel system in it to see if they would corrode or be eaten by the fuel, but nothing really happened. I have aluminum lines under my car and braided hoses. You need to flow 30% more fuel as has been said.

    I have been running e85 (replaced 110) for the last two summers.

    Combination:
    418W
    FAST XFI
    88mm Turbo
    non-intercooled

    Originally I started with 83lb injectors...but quickly maxed them out....E85 require quite a bit more fuel. After switching to 160's it has been great. Last fall turned it up to 20PSI....ran 141mph in the 1/4 and hasn't missed a beat.

    No issues during winter storage

    Car actually drives better on E85...stay's cooler and costs me less.

    I wouldn't change back for anything.....I love it and you will too.
