    has anybody ran e85 with nitrous?
    if so or does anybody know how much i need to increase the fuel jet size?
    from what i can find i need to increase the fuel volume by 25-30 percent. if thats the case should i just put that much biger jet in or is there more to it.

    Id say that should be fine if the rest of the system would flow it. But i havent tried it on n2o.

    Contact the nitrous supplier to find out how much alcohol is needed for their nitrous system. In a regular application (N/A) you need close to 30% more alcohol than gasoline by weight - not volume.

    I asked the same question a while back Bryant from all the major nitrous suppliers and only one responded. They said to increase it by 30% but didn't say if it was by volume, open area of the jet or diameter. They were all useless as far as I was concerned. Ultimately I have to believe that you need a 30% increase in volume but it should be pretty forgiving since it's such a high alcohol content. You might want to check this site out that I found as well...

    This might help as well...
