Something tells me that on this board, you are gonna have a hard time convincing folks to go take the time to measure their vacuum so that you can shake their $hit around...
so yeah. Guess that 229 is the perfect, Terry.
rock on.

Re: Big cam vs small cam
No siding here, but i think this is a good way to get a more comparable reference to idle quality, of each cam. Most of us Tech fans understand that increased compression will boost vacuum readings and hi elevation will affect readings also. This vacuum info will standardize comparisons, i say the more responses the better.

Re: Big cam vs small cam
Terry I think u forgot that my CARTEK 224 Cam
produces 1in MORE vacum than your GIANT 229 CAM at 925 compared to your 950 idle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I want to know where the TR 224 112 and 114ls cams fall compared to the MMS 224v3.1. I want to know where the ARE split patter cams fall. I want to know where the C1 cam falls. It will be a good tool for the members of this board to use when comparing cams.
