Hi To all, I am very new to this forum,but not new to NHRA stock class
racing. I held a few records back around 1975 in F/S . This forum is
such a great place to learn. Back in my day,the only way we shared info
was at the races or if you got to be a trusted buddy of someone,you may be able to call him and talk on the phone for a few minutes,but that was about it. Anyway I have always been interested in carburetors,especially Q-jets ,because in 1975 very few people knew
how to best modify them for competition. Anyway,what would you think
would be the difference in et between a really good Q jet and one that
was just average. I know there is not an exact answer,but because of
reading this thread I began to wonder how much faster a really good one was compared to one that was not built with a good main body or top? thanks ed
