I block the back power valve, and compensate with larger jets in rear with jet extensions. I don't remember which pv I have in front, but you might want to go back to 3.5 or higher to make sure it doesn't open at idle.
 
just too let you know i checke the vacum first had a whoping 1" of vacum so i plugged the front and the rear upped the jet sizes 6 each and that seamed to do it. off to the track tomorrow nite to test
