Questions for stockers with carburetors.

Do you guys use EGT loggers? One side or both? Or do you just read the plugs and the time slips? ... also for Q jet cars...how often during the course of a season do you normally make metering rod changes?...thanks

I run a QJ in SS. After 100's of metering rod changes, this is what I would recommend - get 3 pairs of rods. A set for great air, average air and a set for bad air. That's all you really need.

We run a Q jet in S & SS and we are down to two sets, junk air & good air!

I run a Q-Jet in stock and down to one rod, set it up for great/good air and forget about it until you have a heads up. Easy to dial when the Q-Jet is rich, no damage from being to lean.

Qjet on SBC I used #6 for reading as that was the leanest in all cylinders. 3 sets of rods. Great AZ air, bad AZ air, Tucson or Vegas air

There are cars with sensors all over them,but they are only LOGGING data to review after the run.
