You are right, Holley says you should have a little bit of transfer slot showing at idle. So for all you guys out there with a mild or stock cam, how much vacuum are you pulling at idle? thanks

I believe the books I've read said the lower portion of the slot (.020 or so) can be exposed without ill effect ? confused
