A friend of mine has a #8896 Dominator on his race car and he is thinking of changing over to E-85. I am not familiar with the Dominators, so I would like to ask what E-85 conversion kit would you recommend to him? Or, would you recommend that he just sends in his carb to a pro to make the swap?
Thanks

Go to http://raceone85.com/ and shoot Justus an email he can build a kit for your carb/engine combo. I did my dominator over the winter and have been super happy! 1st time out made 9 passes all between 6.26-6.29 and won the race. My car has picked up over a 10th in the 1/8th and even the 60' has improved.

I have not been able to verify, if the QF metering blocks still have the idle feed tube in the main metering well, like the oem 8896 does. This is a major cause of high speed lean out, when jetting down the intermediate circuit, as the restriction effects how big a main jet is effective. I would start over with a 2 circuit, or google the topic, and make up your own mind. BLP (Bo Laws) makes a billet block that supposedly picks up idle circuit fuel differently, but I haven't called them to verify.

The QF dominator blocks do have the idle tube in the main well. They have increased the size of the well but the idle tube restricts it quite a bit. This I think is why their boosters are drilled with 17 holes and they use alcohol sizing on cross channels, stake tubes and banjos.
BLP does make a wide 3 circuit block that isolates the idle circuit. I have been thinking of doing a carb with these blocks to see if the 3 circuit will be faster. I normally convert the carbs to a 2 circuit blocks and they are working well.
