    I have a Ford f 150 truck 4x4 model 89 5ltr winsor gt40 heads weiland intake 2 in rise stage 2 cam with a 600 holley vacuum second i am running 65 main jets 6.5 power valve when I first got it it was using 70 main 65 valve its users oil and don't blow any smoke if i dropped to 60 main would they be to small due to the high runners and make it lean out then blow up just thinking that the distance from the carb to the manafold base its about 3 inch of lift and will i use a 8.5 power valve because of the high rises

    what should my vacuum gauge read with a camshaft thats alittle bigger than your stock cam ..i have a 1990 k5 blazer 350 engine it has rebuild with up graded the cam to a howard rattler cam intake lift 225 exhaust 535 duration 227/235 lobe separation 109 centerline 103 i check to see how mush vacuum i were getting and its no where near 19 to 21 of mercury .. the needle is in the red area sitting on 10 where it say late value timing or leak at intake manifold or heat riser my engine has about 480 miles on it.

    because that would flood the intake manifold with fuel and could cause bad explosions.
