Alan,

There is no performance advantage to removing the rods, unless the power system has not been properly set up for a racing application. Removing the primary rods basically just makes the Q-jet easier for the average tuner to disassemble and, particularly, re-assemble. On my car and many others, we have seen no improvement in ET anywhere down the track when converting to the "no rod" set up in the primary. But ask most racers what they don't like dealing with the most on Q-jets and usually they will tell you the power piston installation. Some racers never change their primary jetting because of it.
