Should i stick with my Qjet?
As many of you know i did a 350 swap. The engine came with an Edelbrock 1406 (600cfm)...and doesnt my stock Qjet have 750cfm? If thats true then my Edelbrock is in fact a DOWNgrade if i swapped it in. Looking through past posts it seems my Qjet is a good carb for my needs..I want a decent amount of power to have fun with (compared to the 305) but i don't want to ruin the MPGs.

Re: Should i stick with my Qjet?
Do you want to maintain the computer system and all it's functions in your car?
If so, stick with the electronic Q-Jet. If not, the edelbrock would be a good choice since you already have it or you could get a non-electronic Q-jet for better fuel economy. Even though the Q-jet flows more than the edelbrock, you would need to be spinning your engine at 6000+ rpm's to need all that air flow..
