Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!

Q-jet all the way and that is on my modified engines as well. Edelbrock as a second choice of a daily driver. Holley on a super high HP racer that you tune all the time anyway.

Q-jets are probably the most misunderstood carb on the plant (especially to those that call them quardabog or quardajunk). I have a Q-jet on the 406 SBC in my Monte Carlo that runs a good sized street cam, it starts on one pump and runs like it is fuel injected no matter what the weather. Look at all the super stocks in NHRA that run q-jets and do it well, yes it is a rule deal but no one trys to play with one other factory carbs in super stock.

The only way I will remove a q-jet by choice is to convert to Fuel Injection.
