Well I would agree on the quadrajet..It is an excellent low buck option to the edelbrock..it has one flaw for offroading ..the metering well (in the middle by the aircleaner stud) serves as sort of a vent if you get it bouncing or at wierd angles, fuel will slosh out here and down the primary bores..but! there is a trick little precut sponge that you can find on the stock racer sites that fits snugly in this well and while it doesnt completely cure the problem it slows it down..but as for the cfm ratings the Q-jet is almost an "automatic" carb along the same lines as the edelbrock and the carter AFB, the amount of airflow will dictate how much secondary response and or fuel you get..so you can get away with overcarbbing (geez is that even a word?) :shock:
