I have nothing bad to say about my Q jet, other than it was pain to get enough fuel to it. Once I switched to an intank fuel pump it was fine. Ive seen all the same dyno comparisons that show no real gain. The one thing I would say is that I do think its possible that the Terminator doing math for you might be better at compensating for the environment than a carb is. So it might before better under less than ideal circumstances like I had on Saturday.

The throttle body is slightly taller, so maybe there is a touch more venturi effect going down the holes.
Well obviously someting wasnt quite happy with the other setup to gain 3 mph in the 1/8th.,,thats quite a improvement. The 92+ mph(HP) in the 1/8th definitely puts you in the 11.5- 11.9 range 1/4(115 mph or so). Improve the 60ft and youll see a nice improvement in ET and a slight improvement in MPH..
