Apart from asking around the racing community, there are a few places to buy qjet parts. I bought primary jets, secondary rods, and needle and seats through jegs, with the brand being "JET Performance." Ebay is also a good resource for hangers, jets, and rods. Something I've seen done is if you don't use primary rods, you can screw in Holley jets in place of the rochester jets. The threads are very close, but not identical. This is not advised if you ever want to try rochester jets and primary rods ever again. So far I've only ever 2 stepped with a qjet. If you ever decide to "chill down" your engine, make sure to try it first when it isn't important. Especially footbraking, qjets sometimes need a little different tuneup when trying to leave the line at very cold engine temps.
