quick fuel carbs
After having great success with these carbs and their tech support, called them this week to discuss a carb recomendation on another project, was on hold forever and kept hearing Holley ads. When finally talked to tech guy, ask him about the holley deal and was told they had bought them a while back.
now I called the "quickfuel tech line" and now get holley, was told that only kept one quickfuel tech, and he was not there, and this guy had no clue on a quickfuel carb, WTF ??? so I guess they are circling the drain for now, so holley now has demon and quickfuel with no support... |
The entire aftermarket is going to hell.
It's a race to the bottom fueled by offshore competition. |
Having recently purchased Quick Fuels and Pro Systems in the past I'd still go with the Quick Fuels. Is Bo Laws still any good?
|
My brother bought a new Quick Fuel 950, put it on a fresh 468 BBC, ran it on the dyno 2 days ago couldn't get the A/F ratios between sides closer than 1.5 difference. Tried an older used Holley the ratios were within .2 side to side. Called the Tech, first he tried to blame the Edelbrock RPM manifold, then he said he had no clue, didn't offer to check it out, totally useless. Not a good first experience with Quick Fuel.

It seems like any decent Holley tech could be up to speed on the QFs within the span of a lunch hour.
|
It seems the knowledge base of running carbs is becoming harder and harder. I run both Holleys and Quick Fuels. I love my quick fuels but never had the need to call tech. I just go straight to Nickerson Carbs for any problems.
*** I can't stand demons. Had nothing problems. |
I used a quick fuel blow thru a while back, with their tech help had it dialed in very quick, so now pissed about this, could be believe what they guy told me...wanted to ask why the hell are you on the quickfuel phone tech !!!!!

My advice would be to find as much information on how to tune for your self. There is a lot of information out there. The big name carb guy's can get them some what close but that's about it.

People responded it was no big deal as they are the same company but owned by a larger. Well,maybe your thread will make people believe.

Did you guys know Holley bought out Quick Fuel and Barry Grant ?
BG was long time ago. Quick Fuel was about 2 yrs ago. I guess the main people of QF just left Holley a week or two or so ago. |

Bigger isn't always better though. Always heard good things about them however.

glad to hear something positive...to me there is very little difference between the holley H/P and a quickfuel, so don't understand the big deal, if YOU are on the Holley carb tech line you should knows carbs..period

After a few emails it turns out Quick Fuel ( Holley) is a stand up company, they had me send the carb back for repair, problem was the Scumbag my brother bought it from was a piece of s#%t.
