I used to run a high overlap cam with a 1000 HP. It had 6.5 idle vac in park and 5.5 in drive. The carb had a 6.5 power valve in front. Blocked in back. No problems with loading up at idle.

This thing had a lean spot deeper into the primary circuit. So, I started the power circuit ,earlier , before the secondaries. Problem solved.
