Lilydale, I heard something has changed about obtaining it. You need to go to the cop shop or proove that it is only for racing purposes, something like that.

Tune it for E85, thats the best results you will get with out going to a full race fuel. About 30% more fuel in the tune apparently, chuck it on the dyno just to be sure though mate.

i might look into dyno tuning a bit more as theres no air fuel mixture screws on the carby. the only adjustments would be needle height and jetting
