I don't recall saying anything negative about a Holley carb...just that the Q-jet is already capable of delivering 750 cfm (your criteria, BTW) and that the Q-jet has some beneficial features that the Holley does not have. You're the one trying to "sell" me on the issue that Holley secondaries (vacuum activated) are regulated by engine demand.

"The Q-Jet was probably the most 'developed' carb ever produced. And, it has a "variable" capacity; it only delivers what the engine requires. Can't do that with a Holley...."
Sound familiar? I am not trying to sell anything. Just trying to correct some mis-information, that's all. You like Q-jets? Me too! They are awesome! Nobody's bashing Q-jets here. Most any carb can be made to run well, if you get to know it. However, saying a Q-jet responds to engine demand and a Holley doesn't is wrong.
LOL! I can't believe I have just taken the time to argue about something so inconsequential and trivial!.
