Talk to Jet performance. They rebuild Q-Jets for different levels of performance. They build an 800 cfm Q-jet special for Big Blocks. Look at their web site for the number and give them a call.

Javier...Here's the web site. It's listed under jet chips. On their main page click on carburetors. Chevy Hi Performance magazine ran an article on this company in their current magazine. Good luck.
