Default using power valve in race car

thanks so far for posts. my car is strictly a drag car and will never see the streets. also would like to say I am using a 3.5 power valve, which is supposed to take longer to open, so I can idle better, as opposed to a 6.5 or 8.5, which kick in a little sooner and are usually used on the street.I really dont understand how vacuum and the power valves work, but from what i read i know to use a real low number power valve for a drag car carb. can the last post who was in favor of the power valve explain this whole vacuum-power valve thing to me as it is like calculus to me, and i really dont understand it thanks again fellas
