    You mean you run Nitro in the 94s on the strip and want to use alky on the street? :D

    Seriously,
    You can't really do an alky conversion and then run gas again afterwards without some problems.

    Alky conversion means opening up all fuel passages, including biggest available needle and seats , big power valves circuits , fuel jets , and pump stroke, nitrophyl float, the emulsion tubes need modifying, but it is a specialist job, not something to be described here.
    The zinc body needs be cleaned properly and then passivated to protect the metal from corrosion.

    I am not really sure what your application is , but you have a serious challenge to keep a bunch of 94s tuned for the street on alky or try to run gas/alky dual fuel.

    Go 1/4 to 1/2 of stock dimension over size for a jmping off point and make damn sure your fuel system(lines, pump,etc.) are up to the task.It takes 2 times as much alchy as it does gas to get the same amount of work done and it is hard on aluminum also regular rubber lines and all that other fuel delivery stuff..
