E85 and n20/fi

didnt see much on here, i am going to be converting to E85 before the season starts. i was just wondering if anyone here runs a e85 alchohol carb?

ive posted some links below, im thinking of using one of these kits with my exsisting carb or just replacing it, and was hoping someone has some experience with any of these.

Re: E85 and n20/fi

Any of those kit's will work.

I ran a Q-950-E85 QUICK FUEL E85 CARBURETOR before and I'm now running a fuel injected E85 setup.

You have to do more than change the carburetor. Your Fuel pump has to flow 30% more fuel and your fuel lines need to be able to flow that rate through them. Alcohol fuels are more corrosive on rubbers and plastics and Metal parts like bare aluminum are a big NO NO when running E85.
