I found a guy to rebuild my Q-jet here in town.I have heard I should have the jets enlarged for more performance but he says no.I have a L-48 with all smog removed and dual exhaust,(no Cats).Any thoughts?

 Leave it alone...............Removing the smog equipment will help performance some, but not enought to re-jet the carb. You probably will not even feel the difference with the smog removed.....

No, don't change the jets.  All you will do is waste fuel and make the exhaust stinky.   Removing the emission equipment will not change the internal needs of the engine.
