Well,the engine is  normaly aspirated 2387cc engine with IDA and 11.8CR.For the fuel ,I will have a new system for the next season: mallory 140 series pump+regulator,3/8 ard line+dash6 (already running under the pan) hose and real competition fuel cell with foam replacing the original oval one.
With a A/F sender such LM1 what would be the goal comparing to the one needed with unleaded fuel?

Well thanks for all the advice ritchie!
Yes the IDA are already modified with Jay Cee glass needle  ;)
About the plug we use to run NGK-8 (one of the coldest ones I think) do you see any kind of change for hotter ones ?
cheers

I'd be interested to know anyone's experiences running E85 with carbs, i have thought about it this year but wasn't sure if it would cause problems in the float bowls?

cheers
