I bench bled mine and used a Mighty Vac starting with the longest lines and got a good pedal first attempt.
I'm a big boy now!!

A mighty vac?? Please explain

Just my personal preference... with a bigger cam I don't run PV's

Mighty Vac: http://www.mityvac.com/pages/products_bcbe.asp

Hmmm.....cam isn't huge: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-5002/

The vac secondary Demon worked decent with a 5.5 but this set up doesn't appear to get much more than 10" at idle so far. Local shop doesn't have 5.0's but have 5.5 and 4.5's........error on the low vac side?

Downside to running power valve plugs on the street??

Thanks for the vac thing.. I thought you were talking about something else

As you know the power valve allows the carb to be used with main jets that are about 8 sizes smaller, which will allow better gas mileage during part throttle cruising which sometimes is the case during much of the time of street driving. So If get rid of the power valve, you must go bigger with the main jet sizes. (5-8 sizes bigger) Car will run a little richer and may load up a little while idling ( I just rev it a little and she stays clean). IMOHO i am in and out of the gas most of the time so it never sees the throttle in one position for very long.. My car pulls 3.5-4" vac at idle
