BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Well, for a stock engine yeah a Holley might get worse fuel mileage than a Q-jet with it's tiny primary's.

BUT... When your going for all out power on a drag racing style big block, you don't use a Q jet.

that's why so many companies emulate the Holley 4150 double pumper. BG/demon, Quick fuel, Willy's, Gaerte engines, Keith Dorton, ALL offer worked over Holley type carbs. So for the High performance and Racing side, Holley wins hands down.
