Default How much vacuum at idle?

This kinda borderlines internal/external. So how much vacuum should there be at idle with heads and cam, no forced induction?

With a good tune and the idle slightly raised, you would probably have around 15". Has close to 16 with a smoother 114 LSA and the same lobes.

Hope this helps you out...

I run a 224/228 with 112LSA and get between 15-16 inches of vacuum at idle. I hope this helps
