The only things I like about the Qjet are that it came on the car and I already have it. Otherwise I'd rather have fuel injection...

I was surprised to find out that I can get Holley and Edelbrock carburetors brand new from Amazon.com for $250-300 that should fit. That beats paying that much for someone to rehab my Qjet.

>195,000 miles and still going. Yesterday I accidentally stuck it in R at 45mph, engine stalled so I restarted in N and kept going like nothing went wrong. :crazy: Anyway, I was afraid but it seems ok.

I have noticed some cars slow down less than others in D though. My mom's 01' Marquis WOULD NOT slow down going down a 6% grade like my 00 RCSB would. Id eventually get up to comperable speeds but it took me a lot longer...mebeh it was cuz her car was lower, heavier and with narrower tires? :hmm:

That's because in D the forward clutches are applied engaging the sprag, which give you engine braking. :read:

I like my lean cruise though :D

Fuck yo lean cruise. :crazy:

I played with my decel-cutoff some but never saw that many gains. Went back to me stock PCM and see less than 1mpg difference so it could just be a rounding error. :roflmao:

with WL tuned it was the difference in barking the tires on takeoff and rolling them off through 2nd gear. :roflmao:


not much increase in power but gobs more tq down low. :drool: Teh lean cruise i ran only netted a small increase in hwy mpg though. of course that's on flat ground and completely negated going up and down the hills on 75 going to lez' house
