Well got everything all finished up and on the dyno made some pulls and made 857 rwhp on 15lbs and 16 deg of timing running out of fuel. So I switched from the magnafuel 750 to the dominator 1800 and going to do a pull this week if that doesn't fix it the I'm going to switch the regulator. Also got all the holley stuff in etc here's some pictures.

4303 and on e85 I have heard of people running higher hp on them but if you think about it I'm on a slick with a glide and 9" so its close to probably 950-1000 rwhp on a radial and good converter etc.
