Good stuff, but I'd caution people following the "Idle Speed Deeds" section. If you expose too much of the secondary idle transfer slot it can cause other issues.
And rather than permanently drilling holes to compensate for "big cam off-idle stumble," (which is really hard to undo), one should try adding static timing. As a matter of fact, from one of the previous referenced articles where the Holley technician was helping numerous people on the Power Tour, the biggest contributor to driveability issues were people attempting to use the factory or lower static ignition timing with long duration and/or tight LSA cams. Once he fixed that part, then he was able to get the carb dialed in properly.
