Well, it's defiantly easy to spend money on a holley, but I don't think YR would have suggested it, if he didn't think it would help. Not that type of man, and has a funny way of being right.

Personally, I thought it might be an issue with the low bleeds being too large, causing a delay in booster draw. The stepped downlegs atomize well, but don't offer much in increased signal like the annulars.
LORD? was the stumble fixed??
