rochester quadrajet

im 22 yrs. old not married, no other bills, still live
at home actually. my mom says that were going to open a used car lot up soon cause she wants my cars out of her yard. i have a 2000 camaro ss,
90 rs, 87 gta and a tacoma. just paid the ss off.

im just outa highschool. last June, so im the same way, no bills. iv got my engine set,for now, im about to swap my trans and i still need a rearend and then i can start on the looks.

damn, at my previous job i was only making 600 bucks every 2 weeks and i managed to get by pretty nicely

i want a newer ss, im currently setting up myengine and trans now, well atleast the other pair, i have a mild 350 now 60 over etc et, with a 700r4 im dropping in asap, but im currently building a 383 with a t56, so yea i need a job bad!

well never give up. i was always in tight spots
when i first started working. i have worked since my sophmore year in high school. i need a vacation.

my gta has a 383 but with a automatic i have
busted several rearends with it.

LOL. hey ridge runner, what else is in that engine, mine is a 350 60 over also. im building a 2004r though.

yea, i aint, i have a goal set and im gonna reach it, even if i have to make some sacrafices

i ve been tempted to trade her up for an 02
model. but there are no difference in hp.
mine aint event got 20,000 miles on it.
has never been raced.

well guys its time to go home, sleep half the
day get up tinker with my cars and them off
to work again. catch you all later.

well i have a tourqer 2 intake, some cheap speed pro pistons i got for 60 bucks for the set with rings, 750 dp carb, msd, still deciding on cam, i had the same motor in there b4, with 10:1 compression, but the block was cracked, i was turnin low 13s

alright tacoma catch ya tom

ooo and dart heads

have you looked into the comp XE cams. i love mine

do you like those heads, i think im going to go with some vortec heads when i do my next engine. i dont really have the money for new heads.

yea,actually i was considering that one, unsure what lift tho

yea i like them, thats the only reason im gettin low 13 out of it, lol, they came on that 350 i got my hands on, but for my 383 i tihnk im gonna go with the brodix heads

how come making the switch from the darts.

well the darts i have dont get me wrong i lieke them but, ive heard alot of good things about brodix and i could always go for something new, for the performance i want the darts i have wont cut it, lol

ohhh. what kind of power are you looking for? hey if you want i would be willing to take those darts off your hands, im sure you hate having parts cluttering up your garage, i will even pay the shipping for you.LOL

haha, yea well the darts i have are pretty much like stock replacement heads, well im looking to be down in the 10s, those dart heads are going on my 350 the one thats 60 over by the way, which im puttin in my camaro by the end on the month, now the 383 im gonna have to save alot of money to finish that, the brodix track 1x heads ive been lookin at have a huge amount of flow, there basically race heads

take a look....

have you ever herd of Air Flow Reaserch(spelling). they have some damn good heads. if i bought new ones i would probably buy a set from them. and you can even have them do anything you want to them before they ship them to you. plus you have many many choices, you can choose anything from angled or straight plugs and anything you can imagion. unless the proces have changed they are around $1200 a set.

they start at 1200 anyway.

no i havent heard of those, hmm thats pretty interesting, well i dunno i might have but not off the top of my head, illlook into those yea i tihnk thats what the brodixs run a set also

alright. well im starting to get tired finaly so im off for the night. later man

me too.. night

yeah i ment new. i have debated on putting EFI on my car. its not built for long cruses, but i sometimes drive it up to where we go fishing,( a 6 hour drive), and we go up in elevation and then my car just dogs down. also i wouldnt mind getting the little amout more MPG that i would get with EFI. i dont think it would be alot cuz i do have my carb tuned extreamly well, well until i switched jets and screwed everything up. do you like the TBI on your car. im not to crazy about it but it would be an easier swap wouldnt it?

ya i like it for what it's used for. and actually it's not in a car, it's in my 71 truck. it gets me where i need to go without costing too much but makes it a fun ride along the way. it's definatly a major increase in power compared to what it use to be. when i got that truck it had a quadrajet, a flat lobe on the cam and a chipped push rod and i was gettin bout a 1/16 lift on one of the exhaust valves cause of that. but still managed to roll a nice smoke cloud off the tires. i'm not crazy bout the stock tb and manifold that's on it, but i had to put her back together so i could get it outa my uncle's shop. but i did did build the bottom end of the motor to handle just about anything i wanna throw at it, from the melling high vol. oil pump, federal mogule bearings, to the fireball .488 cam. i may go to tuned prot yet, but it'll depend on if i get the money. if not she'll get a holly 670tb, and still haven't decided on intake.

Quadrajets are easy and cheap to rebuild. And as far as tuning them their are a lot of books out there that tell you the shortfalls and how to correct them. One of the hardest parts is deciding how to set your tune up:screwy: most of its just trial and error. You probably want a respectable tuning shop to dyno tune for the best setup, but that's going to cost you a good amount. I'd say your better off just rebuilding the Q-jet than going out and buying a square bore.
