A great source for tuning info is the race on e85 forum.

Don't give up. In the long run you will be happy.

i am not trying to be mean but how do you know the carb job is good? if you lost et by only changining that i would think it has something to do with the carb. mark told me if you are over 100 in jet size you have other problems. what timming arre you running? compression? what is your true eth% this would all matter?

Does the carb have power valves?

Is this a 3 circuit dominator? What is the list number?

Simply jetting it up is not going to get it there. It will need changes to Air Bleeds,PVRC's and IFRC's.

Was it truly converted to E-85 or rebuilt and jetted up?

I get $250 for 4150's and $325 for 4500's
