Need input from big cam users.

Rick and Snake,

Thx for taking the time. Nothing like dealing with lost mechanics. LOL I did a little fiddling with some air hose fittings and my compression tester so I can do a listen for leakdown test this weekend. Oh and there is one other equation that I did not think of. The power valve. My guess is the one in the holly is stock. 6.5 which works fine with a motor running 13 inches of vacuum at idle, but this sucker is pulling less than 6 inches which makes me wonder if I am not bleeding some extra fuel from the power valve. Holly tech says take idle vacuum and divide in half and that is your power valve selection. So my guess is I should install a 3.5.
