Post by: qjetsrule on May 17, 2012, 08:16:20 AM

HAS ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH STAGGERED JETTING HELPING HORSEPOWER WITH A QUADRAJET?

No personal experience but I would think it is just another tuning variable. If you have reason to believe that distribution issues aren't providing the A/F mixture to achieve best power for all cylinders then staggered jetting may be a way to correct that condition. Intake manifold porting to balance runner flow is another.

I know Holley's came with staggered jetting from the OEM's on certain applications. Not sure about Q jets. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
