I think I have a vacuum leak in my car. I hooked up a vacuum gauge and its reading 12" HG, I know most motors pull 15-20, not sure if cammed cars usually run this low or not since I didn't take a reading before I had problems.

Not sure what it suppose to be with a cam. How do your brakes feel? You can get a vacuum can from jegs or summit for $35 and it will store i think 16lb of vacuum. I know i'm going to have to run one with my setup.

I'm pulling 12, I've seen it hit 11 when it's really cold.
