Q-jets can be trickier to work on, but they work well when they work well. Edelbrock is an easier plug & play carb. But yeah, are you having problems with the Q-jet?

Have your Q-Jet rebuilt or rebuild it yourself.

Don't want to rebuilt I'd like a dif one that's close to oem I know it's dumb but i want to get rid of the q-jet and get something better then I'd use the q-jet as a target for my 45

Now now you must really have had some trouble with the carburetor. They aren't that bad if they are rebuilt properly.
