Default How much vacuum do you make at idle?
Since pretty much all of us have boost gages in the car, I was wondering how much vacuum you guys make at idle and with what cam and displacement? I'll start

370ci 232/232 .595/.595 114 w/ 15# of Vacuum @ 900 RPM

That's huge grind for an LT isn't it? Don't have much experience with them but I thought that they normally run way less lift.

That's an interesting grind. Are those lift numbers reversed or is that cam using that much different lobes from int to exh?

Yeah I said the same thing when I first heard it. The numbers aren't reversed it's just seriously different lobes apparently. I'll get to find out how it does come tuning this weekend
