Either the gauge is wrong or they didn't port it. That's the reading a non-ported engine should read.

The gauge is right. My old motor with 72000 miles on it before the coolant seals went read 16-17 vacuum. When breaking in my motor I had 16-17 readings and KDR told me it would slowly climb as the engine wore in to around 18-19. At idle I've been reading between 18-20 but usually 19. I have a mild-port and uh, I think he did port it since my car pulls much harder up top

Just FYI, my car pulled better on a reman from when my seals were gone on the original...

i have only 1100 miles on the new/ported motor that pettit did for me, and the vacuum readings right now are 12-14.......and should get 'slightly' higher
btw, the vacuum readings on a ported motor will be LOWER than those of a non ported motor.....

Kwikrx7, what kind of apex seals do you have in your engine? I ask because I thought I read a while back about people getting very good idle vacuum (even on a street port) with hurley seals. I tried a quick search to see if I could find where I read that, but I didn't have any luck.

He says that he is seeing 20-22 inches on his streetported motor with Hurley racing seals.

I see ~19-20 on my streetport but I only have 25 miles on the engine.

People have said the porting is pretty mild.
I can't attest to the power yet since I'm still breaking it in.
