Pretty sure. There are exceptions to every rule. But I always have great respect for guys that take the the time to make Qjets and AFB's and thier clones go fast. But I stand by my opinion. The sucessesful marketing by Edlebrock dissapointed me from the start. I bought into it years ago when they first brought out that "Compitition Series" trusting Edelbrocks good name for hot rod parts - soon saw the light. Bolt on an 1850 in place and feel the difference.

Interesting. What engine, gears and RPM's?
Might be fun to run with 650's.
