Q-jets have great driveability & excelant gas mileage. Holly is good if you are going raceing. This is not to say that the q-jet doesn,t make plenty of power. 
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |

To my perspective, Holley's do not have a reputation for being the most reliable carb out there. Had one too many leak in the worst possible location - on the engine. | | |

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |

I'm not real fond of the Holley. I've experienced
problems in the past. But, the Holley is free, the Q-jet will cost a few $$. I'm still leaning toward the Q-let. Thanks for the input.
