Default TPI idle vacuum?

I've just installed a TPI intake onto my '70 block, running Holley HP EFI.
What is the TPI idle vacuum normally?

I might be off base but isn't the cam a variable in the amount of vacuum you have?

Mine measures 15 inches at idle, hot. Stock everything.

With my stock engine mine was 17 in at idle. I would say anything within a few points of this would be ok...WW

That's about 55-60 Kpa, give or take, I think I'm in the mid 40s right now.
Once I set my timing, I'll verify, thanks!
