I was always under the impression roller tip rockers are a good way to "free up" a few hp. As for the carb; I'm not against hanging on to the Q-jet that's on there now, although all the carbs I've ever used had electric chokes. This one seems to be vaccum operated (like I said before, I don't know carbs very well) with a little lever that goes down into the intake manifold. Exactly what it does down there is beyond me. Do Edelbrock intakes make provisions for this? Anyway, the only problem my Q-jet has now is that it bogs to the point where the engine almost stalls when I apply more than about quarter throttle from a stop. The engine idles a bit high too, but even a carb dummy like me can fiddle with that.
