I only had about 20 hrs of fine tuning in my dominator / Victor jr intake on a 540. Sucker would idle all day long and never foul a plug. The PITA is drilling air bleeds to JUST the right size. Had a few ooops, too big episodes but, in the end the carb was perfect. Idle, mid and WOT.
It just takes some serious time and lots of trial and error to get them right.

Not exactly but sort of. Originally I was up to 98 jets and the top end was still a little lean while mid range was rich. With the air bleed change, I was able to drop down to 92's and the top end and mid range were good.
Power valves add 6-8 jet sizes. Changing them changes when they open but not how much fuel they pass. At wide open throttle they all add 6-8 jet sizes and that wasn't enough. Btw, new Dominators come with removable air bleeds. You can change them just like jets.Big boats rule!

OK so you left the power valves to open late to richen the top end ?
