Quote: The TQ takes a lot to tune and is absolutly no comparison to a DP Holley. I tried to run a TQ and succeeded but in the end the Holley won out hands down in Performance. When you are talking tenth's of a second I will now stick with Holley. PS in mileage try a Q jet easy to tune and reliable and with Chrysler linkage from 1985 up to 1988
If the holley won hands down in performance it means your TQ was WAY out of tune. I've had a 750DP and a TQ on the same engine and the difference was 11 mpg from the holley and 17 from the TQ around town. Never saw any track times but the TQ had the holley by the butt dyno. And apart from that [and here's a name from the past] Ed Hamburger insisted that a TQ will have 2 tenths over a similar sized double pumper all day. As someone stated previously holley tend to cover up deficiencies in their design by making it rich, they CANNOT meter fuel properly at part throttle apart from all their other problems.
