Q-jet Questions

OK guys, I see that NHRA now allows specific number Edlebrock Q-jets.

So, is there an advantage to using the E-carb ?

Do they have less smog restrictions than the later '70's carbs ?

I see specific casting numbers listed for factory carbs. Will they let you run any others, as long as they are the same cfm ?

Exactly what mods are you allowed on the carb ?

Do most guys run without the primary metering rods ?

Are the carb rules any different for Super Stock than Stock ?

I assume there are guys who can build your Q-jet so it will make more power than most, but still pass tech ? Or do most guys do their own ?

Any other useful info about making big power with a Q-jet ?

Thanks !
