E85

does anyone use it on a carbed engine around here? i just read the jan. 2008 hot rod and they make it sound pretty easy. i guess all i would need would be a alcohol solonoid for the N20 and a conversion kit that quick fuel technologys sells. anyone have any real world expirence with it?

As you haven't posted where you live, "around here", doesn't mean very much!!!

you need a new carb. it is easy to convert. the fuel requires 30-40% more fuel to make the same power. have not had good luck modifying holley carbs yet. if you do not have high compression or need for high octane you will not need it.
remember you will use 30-40% more and it is only 20% cheaper.

i am building a turbo ls1 i will be using e85
