Default Help w/ Power Valves
I recently dyno'd my car at 400 rwhp. It has a 427 center oiler, Holley 750 dual feed w/ electric choke.

The problem was that it was running off the chart rich. I will have them retune on the dyno again soon. One thing I have investigated was the power valve. It has a 6.5 in it (stock). I measured my manifold vacume at idle at +/- 7". According to Holley manuals, this would call for a 3.5 power valve. I want to replace it today. Just curious if this could be the main source of richness. FYI the primary jets are 72. Thanks for any advice.
