Just curious as what is the largest jets you have run. I just converted a 1050 and 99 were not large enough and gas only goes up to 110 they then jump to 127

147 drill size alky jets in all 8 corners on 2 1250 doms.

You might want to consider an airbleed change rather than larger main jets. Did you increase the booster flow size when you converted the carb? Did you change the metering blocks? Is it a 2 or 3 circuit Dominator?

This is a Quick Fuel kit so its yes to the booster,metering block needle and seat it was set up to there specs with #28 air bleeds we started with 97 jets then went to 99. I spoke to Quick fuel and they said jet up before changing air bleeds and I was wondering how large guys have run. I was gaining more temp than I should be so I am going to 103 and go up as needed.
8896 three circuit

I have a 1050 dominator 3 circuit that was converted to E85. LM1 showed lean going down track.We started with 98 in the front and 106 in the back.Now we are at 101 and 111s in the back. The car really picked up from the 330 on and ran the best numbers it has ever ran in the cool weather and this day the temp was 88 degrees and terrible air.

Right now I have 96s in my 8896... I forget the air
bleed size... but QF set it up for me and worked almost
perfect... I did jet up 2 jet sizes from their spec

Depending on conditions, I use 96's to 100's square in my 8896 with a Quick Fuel conversion kit. HS bleeds are around 0.016" if I remember correctly.

LM1 showed lean going down track.

9 to 10 lambda and now in the eights.Still could go a bit more.I may play with the HS air bleed.

I assume you mean Lambda of 0.90-1.0 before, and 0.8x after?

Do you have power valves just seems like a big spread

Yep thats what I should of wrote.The guy that did the carb likes to use a power valve as anouther circuit for fuel.When the carb was 110 gas the jets were 96 square with no power valve.
