If you're not experiencing carb flooding, overflow out the vents or extended cranking time when starting, chances are you're OK though 10 psi is high. I've heard about Holley pumps being off spec and delivering higher than normal pressures. The Holley Red electric street pumps like I use as a pusher are limited to 7 psi max.
