Had a 84 Monte Carlo with an electric Q-jet on a 305 SBC that would barely break the tires loose if you romp it just right (2.48 rear end from the factory) Tuned it down with some closed chamber heads and 10.5:1 compression and got something like 20 mpg. Exhaust sounded like it was running through a straw with the full muffler. Ditched the 305 for a 350 and wound up with a 150 shot of Nitrous, always with a Q-jet. Holley never blew my skirt up, I do like the Carter AFB for performance. Got to try one and it seemed to make the car faster with zero setup or tuning. Never actually owned one.
Projection 2-barrel was tried and liked but it was holding us back. Its beauty was the simplicity, we could have set the tuning parameters and simply forgot about it, but we wanted more. On a RV, boat or daily driver I think it would be a good thing due to the reliability but probably not the most efficient.
