The TQ is an excelent carb, the only problem with them is that no jets or metering rods are available for them for proper jetting. I run the orignal TQ on my '72 340 Demon and it works great. I have aquired about 10 TQ over the years so I have plenty of part, jets, rods. Good luck and I don't think you will be disappointed if you get it jetted right. Kevin.

The carb shop said they could help me out for a price.....
So, my T-Q sits and sits and sits because the price of the parts was soooooooo much, you would have to be Bill Gates to afford them. The T-Q it self will perform great. Darn Dart is right. You should get good mpg's and excellent WOT operation |

Carb Tech
Check out this website. They specialize in rebuilding and modifying TQ carbs.
http://home.earthlink.net/~mrburke/demonsizzler/carbs/ Their prices seem reasonable too. |

I tried a Thermoquad on my 400 for a week. It was bad on gas and the accellerater pump is way to small when you have a big converter. The car would spin the tires then fall on its face when the shot was done. This carb works good on stock engines. It had a good top end.
Thats my opinion and experience. I can tune them for stock engines. I like Holley cause they are easy to tune and parts are no problem. |

ok but a 400 is quite large as compared to a 440
the 400 is a rather large engine...
i was just asking if the Tq is going to hurt my performance.... i know its a great carb (or so ive heard) i was just asking if its going to hurt my performace a great deal or not...... |
