Does anyone know what your average '68 QJet off of a firebird 400 flows? Just curious whether to keep the Q Jet or go to a Holley Double Pumper for my 400/455 Street Strip motor. And what is better the original 4 barrel intake or an Edelbrock Performer Intake?

The Q-jet flows at 750 cfm and the only difference between the factory intake and the Edelbrock Performer is weight but I myself prefer the factory intake to the Edelbrock.

Is there a specific reason you prefer the stock intake to the edelbrock?
