I am attempting to adjust my holley 750 cfm VS so it performs at least as well as my old 600 DP.
Some say that a weaker spring will take care of my flat spot (allowing earlier opening of secondaries) others (Holley's instruction sheet provided with spring set) that my flat spot is due to secondaries opening to soon (SB engine BTW)

If it still has the stock spring that it came with Pierre, I am 90% certain that your flat spot is due to too late an opening.
