...................apparently you have never actually tried it then. Running 40 lbs with gas is not a problem. |

That is correct.There are several 6200 lb pro stock tractors in MO that run very good on gas and they are running more than 40 lbs of boost. |

Why can't you have the carb after the turbo? I have seen several kits in the automotive world that have the "blow through" set up that works. I would check with Gale Banks or Mark Colberg to get the ball rolling (Propane goes through a carb) I would put money that if they don't have a kit, they would know who would. |

Rules state that the Carb has to be before the turbo....ECMTPA rules that is. |

So what has more power the gas or the diesel. Only one has answered the question. And yes you can run alot more boost than 40lbs on a gas espeacialy fired ringed and girtled. I think a diesel would have more at 3000rpm. They are more in there power band. If a gas could run more rpms it would run real close maybe in the 4000 rpm range just my thought. Would be real interested in what people think. |

My oversight. I didn't realize there was a rule in place to cover that. |

IPA considers E-85 a pump fuel (gasoline) If a builder were interested. |
