Default What Idle MAP pressure w/ H/C/I swaps do you generally see?

With a 216/220, .556/.564, 114 LSA, -10 overlap, ported LS6 intake, & AFR heads, the MAP was 42-46 kPa. With a 224/224, .596/.596, 114 LSA, -2 overlap, I'm seeing 54-58 kPa. Does the new idle MAP pressure look about right to you guys? Seems OK, just wanted compare what has been seen. Thanks

Sounds about right... also depends what your idle speed is set at. For a 224 cam, I'd set the idle to 850rpms.

I'm seeing about 51kPa from a 224/224 on 116 and a
700RPM idle. Probably would go down if I bumped the
RPM up. Idle mixture and spark have a lot of effect
on MAP and you can use MAP movement to tell what
it "likes" as you change them.
