Only one I have now thats not in my car is a 6750 and I think you'd find it'd be a big lug in there. Keep on after it, I know you'll get there as people always says rome wasnt built in a day was it lol

He has a larage email/call Volume for sure but usually gets back with ya.
I think if you want to go to E-85 a APD E-85 is a better option, I'd leave the toilet on alky its easier to tune and work with.

I have the Toilet,and all of the nessesary Components!
I DONT have the ADP-Carb?Last time i Checked,They were'nt handing them out?Maybe things have Changed???
I'm sure that these Carbs are say,1000.00 to 1300.00?
I think that this Toilet will WORK Just FINE!!!
You have to remember,i do this as i can?And Lately,AS = NOT Very Often!
In other words,i have to use the Parts i have,and MAKE Them Work?I cant run out and Buy a different set-up for Everyday of the WEEK.......?Wish i could,but them Days are Gone along with my INCOME!!!

I don't know what the burn ratio of E85 is compared to alcohol, i know nothing about E85, but i would put the pill in that Rons recommended for a starting point, pull the high side chip out and bring it up on the converter that you have. Change the pill up and down until you get the highest stall and that should atleast get you down the track.
But as David says alcohol runs great with a bowl and is not much more than E85, in fact about $2.15 a gal. for me, or $120.00 a drum. And i know about like of $'s, i'm retired and Uncle doesn't pay me all that much per month.

Hey Zip,
The ONLY Reason that i will Try the Corn?Is that US41 Dragway has Developed a Pro E-85 Class ,it will be alot like a Q/16 Door car deal,-GREAT PAYBACK-They want the Cars to resemble a Car that you Might see on the Street,NO FULL TUBE CARS,Have to have E-85 in the Tank,can RUN any type of Power Adder you Want,And Heres the BEST Part?
8.90 Index
So Realy WHO Gives a Flying F K What Power adder you Run,Go Faster than 8.90 and GO HOME!
Mostly cars like Mine,over 3000 lbs,Fairly Stock int.2 Seats,NO DECALS or Lettering!!!
Maybe by the Aug.22 race?Just Got Home with a Converter,so ill get the Car ready and run it on Gas or Alcohol this weekend and then do the Switch?
