The Q-JET, quadrajunk, quadrapuke, whatever you want to call it- if properly tuned- is one of the best carburetors available on the market. | The Q-JET, quadrajunk, quadrapuke, whatever you want to call it- if properly tuned- is one of the best carburetors available on the market. | ||

Most rebuild kits come complete with instructions and application charts for whatever engine your working with, and you can always do what I do, hold on to the parts you didn't use before ,and use them on your next rebuild or experiment. Several companies have started making everything you need to tune the Q-jet to fit your needs, or you can buy a new carb from Edelbrock- and I do mean new, not reman- and not worry about spending all of your time in the shop. | Most rebuild kits come complete with instructions and application charts for whatever engine your working with, and you can always do what I do, hold on to the parts you didn't use before ,and use them on your next rebuild or experiment.

[http://www.jetchip.com/ Jet Performance] also makes a great Q-jet. Their unit is a true bolt on and go product. I have used 3 of their carbs, which by the way come in stages to meet your application, and I never had to tune one of them. I bolted to the intake, and took for a test drive, and never had to tune from that moment forward. Again, if your running a nice little street engine with a little thump, you can't find a better carb, but if your getting into that monster pro=street stuff, then you need to look at carburetors that can handle the changes in vacuum circuits and the need for fuel or have a very good understanding of the tuning requirements needed to allow the Q-jet to work well under these conditions. | [http://www.jetchip.com/ Jet Performance] also makes a great Q-jet.
