ONE gallon in 37 seconds is only 1.62 GPM. While that is over 550 pounds a hour which should easily support 1000 HP. It don't always work that way. Stan |

Re: Too Slow/Q-Jet question
Have the rear hangers been set to a standard? So both holes in the hanger lift the metering rods the same distance out of the jet. Somebody made a neat checker that could be used to adjusted and equalize the hangers.

Re: Too Slow/Q-Jet question
Dog, I got no idea. I'm going to bolt on another one to either find the issue or rule it out. I got one coming from T-Stick that's pretty close. If it works better than the one I have now, I'll start taking it apart and seeing about how it's set up and what needs to change. The car was consistent with my Q-jet, just slow, so now If I can eliminate that variable I'll be able to see if that's my issue or not. While I have it off I'll take it apart and see if I can't get you guys some more answers

Also you most likely just have a whole bunch of small small issues adding up to some big losses. Only time and perseverance will fix that

Re: Too Slow/Q-Jet question
HOLY **** BATMAN! My heap SET SAIL this past weekend at a Darlington Dragway test session! changing nothing but timing, shift points and an intake manifold from Tim Stickles, I picked up FOUR TENTHS. Granted, it was in 1000 ft of DA and in a 15 mph tail wind, but I cracked off a mind boggling .39 under in the 1/4 mile! Wow wow wow! I'm so happy, proud, and relieved! I'll see you all in Orlando!
I tried my carb, T Stick's carb, and Chad Taylors carb, but mine ended up being the fastest. I think Chad's showed the most potential as it ran really well through the middle but suffered in the 60ft as it was set up for a 2-step but I was foot breaking. Had a little stumble in it when it left but came alive and hauled the mail out the back. Hoping to get a hold of some one this weekend who can help me go through them to see if I can optimize one for my combo! Thanks all for the advice and well wishes! We did it! We got under! Much appreciated to all!
