OK, here is my old, home made carb with QF blocks: And the New almost-$800 thing with the same jetting... cannot stuff enough jet in it:

You will more than likely be able to drop it (the new shiny thing) right in there with a hi-speed air bleed reduction. I do have a 950 with .180 leg annular ready to go Tim. Do me a your phone # and we'll talk it over.

Well, I think I may have made a discovery. My line feeding the pump is a #6. It has #8 ends, so I ASSumed... well you get it. Then I have 3 feet of #6 out of the pump dead-headed into a CSR regulator and two #6's out of that. I THINK the Holley Black is enough pump but it could be starving... so what the heall I am going to feed it $200 of #8 accessories and drop those are bleeds to 28! BTW - looks like I may be getting a 200" 4-link car.... I PROMISE to include you when I wrap it up Heath! You guys have been invaluable. It's purty: shootmyphoto.com/spitzer if you wanna see PS: The guy who built the shiny thing has allen screws in the back of the main body restricting idle fuel. He told me to remove them. That will explain the 1.4-ish lambda at idle |

Spitzer, very nice Tim, top of the line.

Well, we're gonna have a prominent raceonE85.com graphic some where. More goofy news. It turns out the #8 lines feeding my pump and coming out were #8 ends crimped on #6 line! The hole-through was only 9/32"!! Wowsa It runs pretty good for a starving beast :-) Replumbing now  Guess I will square it at 99 or 100 and take the idle bleeds down one, then graph it. I only get 2 passes before we race Sunday. |

One more situation proving E85 is pretty tolerant with A/F problems- while fortunate this did not damage a motor- it likely would have on gasoline (though in this case the line size might have be ok on gas).  |

What about the hi-speed bleeds Tim  ? That's the ones to worry about from the looks of your graph. I could live with the idle as is as long as it's transitioning okay. |

I will save you the war story, but I did get a check (3rd place) my first time using Zero-force mode with the ProCube II. But it was a double edged sword: the genius who wired the car before I owned it powered the delay box and shifnoid together, so I flip off that switch when not in use. When I turned it off after changing dial-ins the numbers were not saved. (I should have waited 4 seconds for the box to 'save') My light was .320 off using the last opponent's crossover. The old Biondo box saved changes as I made them, so it did not occur to me that this could be a problem. I will rewire that rascal this week. It was a $600 mistake as my buddy made the final and we always split. 11 and 14 packages back to back proved to me the Z mode is for real. I was .008-.020 for the whole night, and I am 30 faster pushing than releasing. Weird: I can't believe I had to ADD 30 to my normal delay. The car was running 5 numbers apart randomly until I started running it warmer. I started hitting the water box at 160 degrees then it would back up the slower number. It was 5 faster 10 degrees cooler. Slower when warmer equals still too lean right? Thanks to God's grace I got a check! And BETTER than all of that: my daughter was runner-up in Junior Dragster  Happy Easter. |

Won this week, but I wasn't driving. I had a wedding to shoot, and my brother-in-law was driving. The car is all the way up to 99 jets, 57/28 and still a little lean (.86 for the majority of run), but it's freaking deadly consistent IF you warm it up and launch about 165. I have still not found anything on the time slip past 38 degrees of timing although I keep reading E85 wants more |

Well, this weekend was pretty good after having a car that produces ET slips that
look like a Zerox machine makes copies, and made it to the finals in Super Pro just to let
the driver mess it up on the big end and let the digger get me by
.0017 sucks. Next time I'll trust baby.

I have still not found anything on the time slip past 38 degrees of timing although I keep reading E85 wants more I believe what I read on the time slip Tim. I haven't seen any benefit from raising timing on E85, actually quite the opposite in a lot of cases. I'm sure it has to do with combustion chamber design an port flow volume and a lot of other stuff that I don't have the degree to understand. Making one change at a time and having that change reflect on the time slip is what it is to me. |

Well picked up a RU finish on Saturday night. Car ran good considering the wind was crazy at the beginning of the day and went calm around round 3. If the driver car straiten out we will be good to go. LOL. In the finals the guy I ran was 004 and 1 to the good. I was 49 ran it out 3 trying to run him under.
Not to bad for the first race weekend of the year.
