I ran SS/JA many years ago with my '69 Camaro...

Flat top 350 with 441 heads.

We had an old Go-Power static dyno and I made a lot of pulls.

Tried some cams and spent a lot of time of course messing with the Q-Jet...

A stocker engine of today probably makes as much or more power than a SS'er of that era.

The dyno really didn't help much out on the track basically....but was a good tool to see where you were at and verify the engine was ok....

Q-Jets are a challenge...They always have been....

I raced a stick shift Chevy II in Stock in 1970-1971....350/295 and a '69 Nova in G and H/SA in the '90's.....350/255 with a P/G

Those carbs are great when they are working well. You just cant have too many......LOL !!!
