This is true, but Cliff Ruggles runs a Pontiac quite competitively with a Q-Jet, which is why I brought it up. I don't expect to race my truck, honestly, I just want it to run right. Whichever book a person buys for Q-Jet overhaul (if they do it for themselves) should be fine. They just have to know about the accelerator piston and the floats being made of material impervious to ethanol in the fuel.

And as far as the CFM issue is concerned, properly set up secondaries will control the flow. Not many vehicles need that much in the way of flow, unless you are racing. My truck is set up bone stock, but tears it right up when I hit the throttle. Enough to scare the wife, anyway.
