35. Tiger's kicked ass and didn't take names, one of my dream cars I never had.
Edited on Mon Dec-08-08 07:19 PM by DainBramaged
Almost all of the Super Stock drag cars we ever won with were QJets. You could put on one of the Corvette 427 400HP 850CFM QJets on and slip past tech except at a National Event or a points meet where they checked the carb numbers. Was good for a full tenth over the usual 650CFM can. And NOTHING was simpler than changing the secondary metering rods depending on atmospheric conditions (we actually checked barometer and humidity in the primitive day). And finding a hanger with just the right amount of up angle (usually from a Pontiac Grand Prix) gave you a micro-second quicker opening speed. Edelbrock now sells them with the proper (optimal) degree of lift built in.

all for $4.00
