Default ? For those running EDC cams

what kind of vacuum are you seeing at idle? I helped a buddy this weekend fire up his ETP/EDC cam's vette and was seeing about 20" of vacuum after we got it to idle and closed loop tweaked to -3-4%. Is this typical for his cams?

With mine I haven't measured but I feel ( via brakes ) I have more than I did with the TR224/112.

Joey...Definately got brakes. Still running fat as a pig though. You should ditch the "You know who" cam and one of Eds. Thanks again, you are the master.

Steve, how did it feel driving around at low rpm, or have you had the chance yet? I'm gonna keep with my plans for now, I want the car to move before May if possible

My cam was spec'd for an A4, but with the M6 now it still feels good at low RPM's.

I haven't noticed any difference in vacuum either.
