Just wondering how much vacuum you guys see with Ford GT cams. I'm running 9.1:1 compression and a whipple 2.3 and I'm seeing about 16in of vacuum at idle, around 17in during deceleration. I just want to make sure this is where it should be. I'm having some issues with the car running rich at low engine loads and under vacuum and want to rule out anything mechanical related before I talk to my tuner again. I did a compression test today and it was between 185 and 192 across the board hot. gotta love working out the bugs on a new engine!

stock cams will typically pull 18-ish....

did you just install the motor? trans? I have seen 02 harnesses get mixed up from side to side. Also if your running garbage Bosch 02 sensors, get some OEM ones.

yes everything is new with about 2k miles on it. I have new NTK sensors car runs good in CL except under low load and high vacuum, then it is too rich
