I was reading in a superchevy that you can buy a kit to convert a holley to be able to run E85 for like 200 bucks. does anybody think that is worth it? i know that E85 is about the same price as 89 octane. are there any pros or cons?

i run e85 an i love it.
the quick fuel kit is for 4150 dp carbs.
it does not include new jets, new airbleads, and new boosters or squirters
i would suggets buying a whole new carb for e85. they are more but you get a high flow mainbody, billet baseplate and better bowls.
my e85 carb is tuned for a blowthrough turbo applicatoin. but i tried it on my s10 anyway.
drained all fuel out of system, added in new e85 bolted on carb. and ran.
within 3 passes i matched my et and mph on 114 race gas, on spray i was faster on a 175 shot than i had went before on 225. \
to buy 114 arround here now is anywhere from 8 -12: a gallon
and e85 has went down to 3.20 - 3.30
i have had no corison issues, and no problems with leaving it in between races. i love the stuff.
buy running it instead of 114 im saving about 60-80 a weekend on race gas
and the truck et dosent slow down due to temp outside. unless the track sucks. but the motor mph realy never slows

What kit are you running? I've been trying to get fuel jetting info on nitrous kits with very little success. I need to pick up about half a second to qualify for PINKS All Out, figured a 100 shot would do the trick (and then some), but I'm assuming 147% flow area vs. gasoline, and don't have O2 capability.
