Great info. So with an 87 454 running long tube headers and a torquer intake what would be the best carb to hold a tune and add some power? Rebuild the Q-Jet 750 or go with Holley or spend god money on the Fast EFI? In a few months I will also get a mild cam. I want it to spin tires and sound nice. I drive it on occasion my Buell gets most of my daily drive/riding. This truck is just for fun and hauling the bikes to the dirt bike track which is 5 miles away.
