Re: Should I stick with stock carb or aftermarket?

well as my dad has said to me ever since i have had enything that was modifyable (is that a word?) "STOCK IS BEST"... and i learned it the hard way. but you also have to think chevy paid engineers lots of money to make a good truck from the factory so as i said "STOCK IS BEST". Get ya a good rebuilt q-jet and make sure it is adjusted right with a good tune up and it will be perty good on gas if ya can keep the 4bbl shut up.

and also the only thing a open element air cleaner dose is make ya sound like ya got more motor than you realy do, and your choke will nnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeevvvvvverrrr cut off which burns more gas
