If you gun it, it should go to 0, I guess you could create more vacuum just above idle if you were OFF the throttle. Shouldn't do what you're saying regardless though....

I cant tell you if it is something wrong with your set-up or not, but I have noticed an increase in vaccum with rpm and slow throttle increase.

my car sits about 16-18 at idle and if I slowly give it gas it will go up to 20 or above before it starts moving in the other direction. If I go faster it will just start moving towards 0.
