Default Map readings at idle? 65kpa

cam is 226/234 on a 110lsa. Is this normal for the cam or do i have a problem.

BTW the car seems to idle ok, this number seems a lot higher than most readings i see. Idles at 850 rpm hot, timing is set at 26 degrees.

Thanks,
Mike

That sounds about right.

It is not the cam alone that determines the idle vacuum. Different intakes, and exhausts will move the idle vacuum around quite a bit. So, if your car has a smidge more/less vacuum than the next guy I wouldn't sweat it as long as it runs okay.

232/238 and I see 60~61. Sometimes, the BARO just needs to adjust. I saw 64~65 at idle on the way into work this morning. Went WOT a couple of times and it came back down to 60~61.

Add lots of timing in the idle cells. (30 deg or so) It will bring the kPa down.

You should be able to get to 50 kPA idle with that cam.
