Title: What's your idle vacuum reading?
Post by: ClubSport on June 09, 2007, 11:33:01 PM

For those of you with boost/vac gauges, how many inches of vacuum do you read with the engine at a warm idle?  I get about 15, but I hear some of the six cylinders get like 20.

Do you have any engine mods like cams that would make it so low?

Anyone else?
