So like to hear some input here about the set up.
I have try to run this 2 times now. once 1/8. once 1/4 mile. Carry good fuel pressure all the way though the 1/4 mile. Had all kind of dumb things go wrong with this carb. from wrong set up to needle&seats leaking to strip out bowl screws. idle circuit plug up. strip out squirter screws.. accelerator pumps not working. I think I got everything fixed. little about the car first. 3600lbs- footbrake-30 over 440- eddy heads-590MP cam- cars runs 11.0s 1/4 mile 6.90 1/8 mile. I have had a Q/F 850 on it for years Done very well with it. This carb is a 950HP build by well know carb builder with e-85 carbs .I bought it second hand.Right now it has 84-94 jets and a 4.5 power valve in front. 30cc pumps with pink cams and 45 squirters. Might be a tad rich at idle ..might just be me not use to it. sits and idles great. have to idle it down to 900 rpms to get the idle fuel mixter screws to do anything ? but they do work. about 1200 rpms they don't seem to do anything. has IAB .067 and HSB .028. So does this sounds close ??

Try 55 on the IAB and 26 on the HSB. Also lock out the distributor. Had same issues from a known builder. Made the above changes and got the carb to at least work. I will be seeing what size the air bleed restriction is next.

I thought that E85 required around 30% more jet than gas, I have run 91 square on my 414 @ 1000 cfm with good results

Yes 30% is what they say. My gas carb is jet'ed at 73-78

my guess is that fuel starts to come through the boosters at 1300 rpms thats why the mix screws do VERY little change.

Really not a prblem but if its a street car it can be difficult to get the mix perfect throuout the circuits.

I have had my 850 Q/F up to 78-86.. It runs run fine there but it is way to moody to the air change.Around here you may see 1800 da to 4500 da in a days time. Not good to keep up with bracket racing. and they tell me my Q/F= quick fuel carb flow 930 cfm

The throttle plate is open to far so it's past the idle circuit. Are there any holes in the throttle plates? If not try opening the secondary plates and closing the primary some. If that doesn't work you may need to drill holes in the primary plates or if it has holes they may need to be larger. This is so you can get the air flow needed but still keep the plates closed enough to use the idle circuit.

This what I thought. But I am not not a great carb guy so I thought maybe I needed to change the IAB or something like that. drilling the holes is a old school trick I have done to older carbs that did't not have adjustable air bleeds.

You can make the circuit richer or leaner with the bleed but if the throttle is open past the transfer slots it won't make a difference.

This is how my 850 is setup...

86/95 4.5" PV - 50cc pumps, Brown Cam's and 54 squirters.

.026" HSB
.043" IFR
.081" PVCR
.067" LSB

Definitely lockout your distributor aswell...

wow you are really dumping the fuel with the pump/squirters. makes me fell better about bumping that all up. carb cam with orange cams and 37 squirters. Car would not leave the line went to pink cams and 42 squirters that help. So I got 45 in there now..I might need to go more !

Yes, that sounds close. But every combo can be slightly different.

The metering blocks and boosters will effect the main jets and air bleeds needed. Smaller on both air bleeds might help. From what I have seen, richer WOT might be worth trying, those 84/94 jets are not big for E85.

Jamie your engine is very close to one I ran a few year back. I ran an 825 demon on mine and setup was
.026 hsb
.063 iab
.042 ifr
87 pmj 4.5 pv
96 smj

045 squirter w pink cams

This setup netted me quite a few wins and awesome consistency. I did the carb myself. One this the 950 hp carb you have is smaller than you 850 qf.
