Slight change of subject, but sort of related...
About 8 months ago I had the unique opportunity to try one of Cliff's modified Q-jets on my car. Both on the street and back-to-back testing at the drag strip. As expected on the street it had slightly better off throttle driveability compared to my modified Holley HP950 carbuerator. But odly enough the fuel milage was not all that different.
On the track it ran to within .11 ET of my carb and to within 1.35 mph.
At that piticular time we had made a change to a smaller cam and also had other issues so I'll we could muster were mid-11 second runs, but needless to say WE were impressed !
Both Cliff and I knew going in his carb was not going to stay on my car.... yes personaly, like a factory intake, I think the apperance of the Q-jet carb sucks. We did this experiment out of interest. And I might note when I sent it back to Cliff he later found a issue with the Q-jet, and if corrected it might have run a little better. I don't remember what it specificaly was but I do believe it was something very simple in the way we had it set up, not a flaw in his work.
If anyone wants one of the best Q-jets around I would highly recommend going to Cliff..... that is if you don't mind having that ugly thing sitting on your engine
