Carb size ?
A max size carb per rules for each motor combo. I know we no longer need carb numbers to be correct per engine. Any rule on how small a Qjet you can have? Asking to try a small cfm if legal.

Re: Carb size ?
Carbs still need to be the original Specs/Dimensions including boosters/Throttle blades. have
I prefer the Edelbrock Replacement Q Jets. I have several in great shape and even NOS.! I believe a 750 must replace a 750 and 800 replace a 800. You can easily look down the throat to see the difference. Believe it or not = I used to race a National Recording Holding 86 Ram 100 with a Q jet.

Just a bit of advice, don't listen to what some "previously employed by NHRA" people might have told you.

Re: Carb size ?
Yeah, I wish that this were true John but look at all of the replacement Holleys that have "down-leg" boosters. The only thing that matters anymore is throttle bore and venturi size.

Not since they let the Edelbrock Q-Jets in.

I assumed the rule was kinda like .030 over, vs. .080 over. How's that "no tech" working out, again?
