Also, what's a good number for vacuum at WOT? I've always heard you need at least 1-1.5 so 2 doesn't seem that high. Do you have a target you shoot for?

Can you post bigger pics of the dyno printout? My old eyes can't make out the numbers.
I spoke with Mark today. He said the target is 0.7 inches of vacuum at WOT.
