Anyone know what stock vac should be?

That would seem a bit high as a healthy stock motor runs between 15 to 17hg. What kind of boost readings are you getting ? are they a little low ?

Thanks Majik for that. I've been a little worried about my Vac readings at idle but compression tested out fine. Never considered that my streetport was a contributing factor to low vac.

Yup, my heavily ported motor pulls 10 to 12 inches vacuum at 900ish rpm, compression was 105 psi at all faces. That link is spot on

i've heard about porting affecting vaccum readings, but would a lower restriction intake filter/port matching change it at all? seems like that would make less restriction, so vacuum would be lower.
