I'm with Dan on this one. QJets are rated at 750 and don't "overcarb" a Ch*vy 327 much less a BBO 455.

Holleys are square bore and QJets have smaller primaries than secondaries. That means Holleys (and Edelbrocks, Demons, Dominators, etc) are good for one thing...dumping a lot of gas down the intake. Qjets have different jets and metering so is is sweet, neat, and petite on the street...but wait 'till you romp on it!

You can get a smaller carb so it'll run on the street, but then you'll run out of top end. Go with a QJet!

IMHO...and experience.
