Holley Power Valve Experimentation

So it is ... the application for a greater than 10.5 would be a street driver with high cruise vacuum.

What makes the Holley formula 'safe' for them?
Just using cruise vacuum period. Mine is only 14 at cruise and I sure wouldn't call that "high". It's simply a different way to tune.

The Holley formula is easier for the end user. Requires much less interaction and that equals less returns and warranty issues with Holley. = Safe for them.
