Original QJETS from the Past

Jim Parsons · 03-28-2024, 09:37 AM

Jeff, through the years I have had several Q-Jets from all the name builders with a similar experience. One or two have perhaps been slightly better mostly in MPH but not anything significant. However I do have a couple old W.A, Lee 207's with one that’s always .05-.06 better every time it’s put on! Me and my old friend John Hladky tried several times to duplicate only to screw up some other wise good ones. It also has been lent out for class wins and record runs. The strange part is it has been dynoed several times against others and doesn’t show any more power regardless of the Jetting! It does run rich down low and goes lean at higher RPM’s and I assume why it’s not so driver able in the pits.

Gary Stinnett named it” Magic Johnson” and like yours no it’s not for sale.
