Did lots of research on E85 and came with this guy as my carb builder. Braswell and Hendrick Motorsports have had him do work for them.

It's a Holley 950HP main body with numerous modifications for E85. Due to E85 requiring approx 30% more volume than gas, it has #97 jets in it. The relatively small 1.375" venturi size is intentional for excellent throttle response and mid range torque, and it will be a sacrifice of hp on the top end. I figure I got Rob beat on hp by a mile, so I am going after the torque to make it a sweep.

The engine is ALMOST ready to the front of the line. All the engines that have race deadlines move up to the front at the shop Mike said. I told him I have a really important dyno contest on the interest I am late for -- does that count?

Oh BTW, that little 781 cube motor ONLY made 1540 hp and 1200 ft lbs. They were pretty disappointed actually.
Imagine if your motor ever actually runs how excited you'll be.

That carb looks tiny

I have to give DG credit for that E85 idea. Too bad for him my motor will run on it while his is still a pile of parts.
