The new ultra gen 3 dominators are supposed to be pretty awesome. Available from 950-1475 CFM. Completely redesigned fuel bowls, with more capacity, drain plug, skirted boosters, TPS mounting, idle air bypass, all new main body, all aluminum/billet construction, Check out some of their features. They look pretty bad azz.

When it comes to basic garage mechanic maintenance the Holley has it all over the Q-Jet. To change jets one wrench and a screwdriver, no metering rods and no linkage to fiddle with and clips to loose. The float is adjusted externally in a dynamic state. And did I mention you re-use the float bowl gasket when jet changing.
Most say the responsiveness and mid are better on Holley also, I will leave that topic for the experts to iron out.

The average boater who today is building 600/700+HP custom engines, the quadrajets just aren't gonna cut it from a fuel delivery standpoint. Would i run one in a chevelle with a 500HP big block setup that I drove to car shows and what not, for sure.
Back when I had a 78 Trans Am with a built up Pontiac, the car ran better all the way around with the quadrajet than it did with the 3310 holley I had. Better idle, better response, better economy, and a tick faster at the track. This was just a weekend summer car I'd drive and go to cruise nights and what not. I vaguely remember changing metering rods, rod hanger, etc...Couldnt tell ya whats what on them anymore. Its been a long time. Maybe SB could. I just remember different letter hangers maybe?

Unless something currently took place as for Holley buying them out - I always understood it that they left Holley and started QF.
this link says some info as well.

I bought two new QFT 850 "marine" carbs 2 seasons ago. Halfway through the first summer it was obvious the linkage and springs weren't designed for marine use - at least not ocean use. They rusted very quickly. Not happy they were sold as marine and don't use stainless steel parts.
