losing the choke on a TQ

demon sizzler said
Removing the choke will require a re-jet since the air flow will increase by approx 60 cfm's.

If you did not re-jet there is about a 99% chance that the cruise circuit will be too lean and that alone will make the engine hard to start in cold weather.

You can expect about 20 more hp increase when properly re-jetted with choke removal and cold weather starting is not so bad. Besides, I want max performance! I build quite a few choke-less carbs and run one myself rear round, David.

thats exactly what i figured...if i rejetted it accordingly i could benefit from the increased airflow and power and it wouldnt be the bear to start up that most think it is...Im building my car for performance in the summer, so im not too concerned with having a choke...heck my buddy runs a holley dp no choke in the winter on his station wagon and he told me he's fine lol...20hp is a difference you can feel imo, so i would say its worth it

thanks for the info!
