Hey guys, Q-jets are AWESOME if you know how to build and tune them! I, in my younger days, used to rebuild and tune them for "haters" who were blown away by how good they were when properly done.
Heck, I used to race with guys who ran Q-jets (myself included) and blew away guys in their class running Holley's.
National Carburetors used to have an employee named Eddie Obie. If you gave him ALL the information on your engine build/vehicle/use he'd build the best carb you could ever dream of!
Just sayin'...
