Im going to run an air fuel meter and vacuum gauge to better understand why my car is not happy at idle and WOT. What should a 302 with a blower, heads and E cam usually show for for vacuum?

What about the air fuel at idle and W.O.T?

Thanks in advance.

i think i have a similar set up at you and my car is happy at about 800 rpm 18*timing (spout IN) and my vacuum is at 13inHG give or take a bit....

my afr gauge bounces a bit from 14 to 15.2 but idle is very consistent
