Well yea you could open up the main jet BUT NOW KEEP THIS IN MIND that it will take twice the amount of E 85 to even come close to getting the same power and stright gas along with tryen to get the compression up to around 10 to 1 then it will not have any lug power Don't know how many of ya ever played with a Alki burnner and just how much fuel ya had to DUMP thru it to get it down the 1/4 mile as from what we tryed for tractor pullen with a built up tractor and the end results were a BUNCH OF SPARE UNUSEABLE PARTS from predetination because were could not get enough fuel into it even thru a 850 holley with 120 jets in the ft. and NO jets in the back then had to add a 1/4 inch line under the carb to spray more in .
