Default Quadra jet Q'S

Does anybody have any problems with their Rochesters bogging down? Especially in first gear like it is getting to less or too much of something.

You need to read the Qjet tuning paper by Lars. He is the Yoda of Qjets. This may be more than you want to know, but check you e-mail.

go to www.corvettefaq.com

Look under Engine/Drivetrain and pull the article called

That's what you need!

In addition to the tuning paper, I'm always available for Q&A via e-mail or this Forum. If you're having some specific problems or questions, just drop me a note or post it up - I'm more than glad to give it a shot.

As for your bogging problem, give me a few details on it: does it happen when you nail the pedal to the metal, or does it feel boggy at cruise speed? Does it stumble out from a standing start at only moderate part-throttle acceleration, or only when you nail it? I have a whole list of things you can check, but if you give me some details I can narrow it down a bit for you.

My e-mail is
V8FastCars@msn.com
if you'd like to drop me a note.

Doesn't lars sound like a Doctor when he asks those questions? :D

That's it! We have our own Dr. Lars! PHD in Corvette Medicine!

I removed the holley dual pumper and replaced it with the stock orginal Q-jet. The 454 with the mods "see sig" is not bogging down at all.
The only problem I had was I installed the wrong fuel filter once I fix that I am very happy with the performance.
