Problems....
ok, I put a lunati bracket master cam in my 350 sbc. I have the valves close to being at the right lash. but I am having problems with my carb. It is real rich at idle and really lean at WOT going down the track. I have around 36 total timing. I idle with about 3-4 with vacuum, but when I rev it up in park (no load on motor) the vacuum goes up around 10-12. I run a power valve in a 750 holley DP. I believe it is a 6.5, I know it isn't right for the motor now and that is probably why it is rich at idle. Why does my vacuum seem to work backwards?? Does the motor have to under load for the vacuum to go down?? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Travis

I have an air/fuel ration gauge. cheap digital summit one and only the bottom 1 or 2 lean bars come on. The car just feels like it doesn't have much power, it doesn't pull. I have been shifting at 6000. only 60ft at 1.93. Was at 1.7 last year with blue racing 465/488 lift cam. It only ran a best of 8.63 at 78mph. Laster year was 8.2 all day long.
I have 5.14 gears, 4000 stall converter and 30x14 rear tires.
