going to put a 700R4 in my truck and going to install a new carb at the same time. which would be the better economy carb?? the edelbrock Q-jet (#1904, 795 cfm) OR the edelbrock Performer carb (#1406,600 cfm)??????? i called edelbrock and they said the Q-jet hands down due to the smaller primary jetting (.073 in Q-jet vs. .098 in the performer). i asked about the tuning the #1406 down a little and they still said that the Q-jet would be better on gas. looking for a little real world experience. this is on a 3500 mile GM Goodwrench 350. what ya all think/experience?????
