 I actually think carbs are built backwarks to what is truly best for our needs(street driven)--I like the idea of the q-jets and edel but think they are designed backwards--I would like a bigger primary side to stay reasonable efficent at low-moderate cruise speeds and add the smaller richer calibrated secondaries for WOT ops---I went round and round with some of the guys at Edelbrock back in the early seventies about the cfm size we wanted for our trucks towing the dragster/funny car. I wanted 800 to 850 so we could run in the more effiecent /leaner primary side and only use seconary when passing/hill, etc.
 
 
 However------they all continued with the BIG seconary deal so now we're stuck with overly rich calibration at upper crz rpm as the seconaries start to open and rediculously rich at WOT--which in my opinion is about the same as trying to crz on a 200cfm carb
