Hey GTO Karl, that was an impressive book you wrote, too bad you haven't read the title of this section or some of my posts. My Research Scientist skills are evident, yours, well lets just say its not too hard to tell you've never been one.
THIS IS THE RACING SECTION, NOT THE STREET SECTION. WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT FUEL ECONOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want fuel economy, but a Honda. Holleys are the prefered choice of racers ALL OVER THE WORLD. As some others have pointed out before this latest post of mine, there are several people out there who will attest that a Holley is better in MANY WAYS to any Q-junk at any time. As I stated to 71 TA, go to the track and see for yourself, a Q-junk guy WILL NEVER SAY THAT, cause he'll just loose another lamb in the flock.
With all your carb rebuilding experience, you'd think you might have learned something from all that time at the track and at work, apparently not. All carbs essentially do the same thing, no sh@t, you're kidding. Power valves, I don't think so, read the title of the section again. At least you used a big word like Delortos, we're all impressed. Holleys are so unsofisticated that they're still being produced and used by EVERYONE, take your head out of your @ss. Many race cars are "heavy, medium stall, wide powerband" cars, no, those are called street cars, wake up and think about what you're typing before you type it. Not many cars run 11's on 92 octane, and never get hot, ever hear of a 3rd or 4th gen. supercharged F-body. Oh yeah, they get 27 MPG, not 14. Demons are popular because of their marketing and they do have some key features, but I have been talking to a couple of dyno operators who are running into problems with them and their performance. I don't have any specifics as of this time, yet. Their technology is still based around (gasp) a HOLLEY CARB. I wonder why they chose not to use the Q-junk? You Q-junk guys make this way too easy. I can do this all day. Not once have any of you produced any proof that a Q-junk can run with anybody today, and I know why, because its impossible.
You're right I don't have a clue as to what you have said, because its mostly all BS. I have given not only plenty of information, but have encouraged the young man to GO OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD AND SEE FOR HIMSELF. You have done nothing more than to add your opinion to the subject. I don't hate Q-junks, in fact I still have a car with one and it runs OK, but I would NEVER keep it if I did anything with the car that was at all performance oriented. Leaders for Q-junks, yeah they're just like the dinosaurs, extinct. When you can show me PROOF that a Q-junk can run with any of "my flock", I'll switch, but since I know you can't, I'll keep on being the fast sheep. Educate yourself and deflate your head.
Everytime someone asks a question here trying to get ahead, some old "points and Q-junks forever" guy comes out of the wood work and sends the seeker 20 years back instead of forward. EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY, its not going to hurt you, I promise. Take a look at what's going on around you OUTSIDE the world of Pontiacs, you might just be surprised at why Chevy and Ford guys can embarrass the fastest of us at will. Actually, you won't because you're still wondering why Edelbrock is making the "silly" aluminum heads when cast iron ones are just fine, right? They look real sharp underneath a Q-junk and cast iron intake, huh?
