My carb guy suggested i switch to alcohol. I curently have two holly blue pumps each with a # 8 line going to the two regulators up front. He said i should put a small tank up front and run a mechanical pump. This car is brand new and i dont want to start reworking it. I dont mind spending the money for two good pumps like holey volumax pumps at 160 gph or 250 gph and keeping the cell in the back like i have it. you guys think this will work? also he claims i can just rework my gas dominator 1050 anyone have luck doing this? what can i expect to gain in performace on a 600 hp motor? thanks

DON"T try to rework your 1050 yourself, send it out and you will be much happier! As long as you have plenty of compression, you will probably see an easy 3 tenth's, and MUCH cooler!-Bob.

I agree about not doing it yourself, but if your carb is right you may not pick up any.
