Vacuum Question
If you have a higher lift cam in the engine, would you expect a lower vacuum?
I understand that good vacuum on a stock engine is around 18-20 inches of Hg.
I have confirmed that my vacuum at idle is 11-12 inches of Hg.
I haven't had my car long and it sounds and feels like I could have a different cam.
What do ya'll think?
