Spreadbore? Stick with your Qjet. No carb will increase performance without other changes to the engine.

Sorry guys, I just saw this. They ran great last season on my 454 mags. I changed cams and got a deal on some slightly bigger Holleys. How about $75 each.

Don't mean to highjack the thread but,
I have a stock Qjet I took off last year
and a Edelbrock 1410 with about 25 hours on it.
I was going to put them on Ebay when I get back from vacation. If anyone is interested PM me.

I ended up spinning a bearing this spring, so I built a stroker motor and spend the cash for a SPEED DEMON carb that is why I have extra'a.
