Kewl, thanks!!! Copied them, see how they match up with the carb we're using....Had it done originally by Vindicator. Gotta check and see if they have these in Dominator size!!!! Those big blocks really like to have a giant shot of E90!!!!!!

yeah it seems the more fuel i give it the happier it gets but i think that i may have gone to far with the jets

Easy to do. First time we chassis dynoed one, found out we were way too fat, dropped back to a good steady A/F ratio and found a bunch more torque!!! Reading the plugs is about the same as running methanol, takes a good lighted plug magnifier!!! Think we might take the Comet back to the dyno next week mainly just too see what we've lost power wise, over the course of a summer's racing... Should be interesting. Now with the hot weather around here, the consistency that we've found with the E-90 is really paying off!!!!

E-90? do u brew your own fuel or is this what is available to you in your area

Home brewed, some E-100 from out at the ethanol plant blended with some pump E-85...

hey dave can i run a hotter plug than what i am now. what i have is equivilent to a r44ts but an ngk #7 was wondering if i could go back to my r45ts or maybe a #6 ngk

hey dave how did the carb comparison go? also i just found this check it out. have yu had this problem

yup, that's mainly why we started using an A/F ratio gauge for tuning. Going to have one in each car next year, kind of spendy but curious to see what it's doing on ratio as the weather changes....

As to the comparison, pretty much the same as the Vindicator carbs we run...

Here is a guy in Minn that is doing very well. I've seen and heard this car run. It's probably the best running carb blown motor I've ever seen. It just purrs and can really make some power. He usually has 2-3 other conversions he's done at the local rod meets with him. Nice guy too. He knows his stuff and is easy to talk to.

check him out

I'd like to do this myself but I'm leaning toward EFI blown.
Just would like to get away from carbs.
