Do you have any stumbles under heavy throttle from idle? I just pulled an adapter like that off of a project truck that had a holley on it. The adapter was about 1/2" thick and made some wicked flow issues. The holley worked flawless but the motor didn't run well. I pulled a qjet out of atleast a 5 year storage and installed it. The motor came alive instantly and power and driveability was way up. Even sounds like a different motor. This thing should have liked the holley better but the adapter and intake killed it. Just a thing to look out for. The front barrels where about 1/3 obstructed by the adapter. I bought the truck this way incase anyone questions my sanity. Good luck.
