Its going to have 15% more gas in it so it should go fat with the added gas... remember we added jet (30% more fuel) to make up for the alcohol) EDIT you might not have enough octane with E-70

I am also ordering an O2 sensor so I can get this thing tuned right. Jim can you post the recommenda lombda numbers again.
Just to be clear, any tuning numbers such as EGT, water temp, A/F, or even Lambda is just a target and each combo might like something slightly different.
But since Lambda is the same for any fuel, I like using it. Each fuel can be converted from Lambda to A/F ratio by multiplying by the fuels stoichiometric ratio.
Stoich gas = 14.7 Stoich E85 = 9.76 Stoich E70 = ? (somewhere between 9.76 and 14.7) The guys at e85forum.net might have an estimate.
For WOT max power Lambda in the range 0.80-0.86 is about right. I would start with a 0.83 target.

I had a Domiantor carb done by a member on here, I dyno tested it with the jetting that was in it and ended up having to jet it down leaner several sizes to make the most power on the engine dyno. It didn't make as much power as a smaller Dominator(1050 gas and 1150 on E85) on race gas did so I ended up buying a E85 tester and found out the local E85 is only E75 As already siad, lean it down(one size at a time ) with more gas
Cab.When u tested the carbs with the e-75 did u dial back on the timing also?

No,I was using extended gap plugs also I didn't know at the time of the testing that it was E75,not E85 as what I thought I had bought I bought the tester later and tested it.
Ok Thax.
