Are you trying to correct a driveabilty problem ? if the car is behaving properly I would not change what you have.

i agree, just leave it alone, it's just when you read a carb book and it say's how to select the correct power valve or even the correct carb size, you got to wonder just how much better would it run, if i was to experiment with this.. the carb is a crucial part, that needs attention, just want to highlight this part more in depth

This article I linked below has good tuning tips for Holley carbs. They do discuss the selection of power valve too.
