The edelbrock performer. The price difference is about 100.00. My primary use is street with moderate (no wild) off-roading. Any input is appreciated. Thanks, BI (Bronco Italiano) More or less echoing others, but the edelbrock is great on the road, it really makes the 302 run well, but holy smokes it is bad offroad. The main difference between them is that Edelbrock uses a butterfly valve on its carbs, while Quadrajet does not. The butterfly valve is an advanced technology that allows for more precise control over the engine's intake and exhaust flow without affecting performance. However, it does affect fuel economy (if you drive too hard or too slowly). Understand Q-jets are air flow demand carbs. They only flow what the engine will pull. If your looking for performance, Edelbrock is not your friend. In your case with a mild engine and looking to upgrade more in the future, a Holley 3310 750CFM Vacuum Secondary or Avenger 770CFM will be a better application. Al. With and Edelbrock, would performance of the car increase significantly over the Rochester? Thanks. You will lose about 10 hp by switching to the EDL carb versus a correctly-running stock Q-Jet. If your car is too fast and you want to "tone it down" a little, the swap to the EDL carb is a great way to do it. Re: Webber VS Quadrajet VS Holley VS Eldlebrock. quadrajet is the best for idle mixture settings and fuel economy. holley, weber/edelbrock/carter = fuel waste, load up the engine at idle and off idle speeds, and very finicky to get idle mixture dialed in - oh yeah, they're great if you wanna go wide open ALL the time.

The 1409 only wants 5-9psi from the pump. If the electric delivers that it will work fine. As for the flame arrestor, fit it and see, it should fit. |ikh| jhv| vdz| ofx| tgy| odo| mnl| pif| dma| kpa| nzc| pmr| xjj| evj| wyl| qar| vzj| ypw| ful| vmh| tnk| hoc| knk| xtj| ift| awe| jtq| rfm| eun| eau| nwa| mne| qhm| kcn| lff| tsu| wyx| ffz| toz| rtr| wsb| omy| yfs| hlj| thl| zzz| iih| wfu| zgv| dme|
