Quick Fuel SS vs Q series
Ok guys i changed my decision on carbs ( again ). Originally it was going to be a holley DP 750 mech secondaries. Now i think am set on the quick fuel carbs, i love the way they look and they get nice reviews by eveyone. Which brings me to the question for the experts.
Q series are running roughly $100 more then the Super Street series. Seeing i know nothing about carbs, can someone explain in simpliar terms why it is better? Will the Q series be an overkill of the SS series for my application? Motor list is here
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...-383-swap.html want to average 500fwhp, eventually 150 shot down the road.
if any how much gains am i talkin between the 2? running a 1inch spacer aswell. If its 5 or 10 hp then ill go with SS, if its 5-10hp but Q series is better with throttle response etc ill prob go with that.

I'd personally go with whichever one had annular boosters, regardless of choke option.

Re: Quick Fuel SS vs Q series
would think an electric choke would be more. So Q series is no choke, SS is choke, any other differences between the 2?

Re: Quick Fuel SS vs Q series
which one you look up? All the Q series i seen were 620+ and SS series 540ish.
I just dont want any downfall in parts, i went all out ( too me ) on this build rather then my original budget plan, i want a decent carb that will put a on my face

Just a picture for reference I went with the 750 on my modified 355. I think your 383 will love it.

Re: Quick Fuel SS vs Q series
i've read acouple post saying non choke carbs flow a tad bit better, the the flow would seem insignificant to someone. How much flow difference you talking?

Re: Quick Fuel SS vs Q series
You will love the Q-750 1 of the best carb I ever had. post some picks when you
get it set up. For my motor set up my jet size 78/89, nozzles 35/38, accelerator pumps are 30/50. I also have 2 other quick fuels carbs.
