52881, Vacuum at idle w/ Crower 2 Cams Posted by Avenger, Jun-09-03 01:59 PM
Just wondering what the rest of you guys are seeing in terms of vacuum at idle with Crower stage 2 cams. I'm seeing 100-120mmHG on the AFC.

I hope that's not what you're seeing.. that's LOW.. you were idling at 500ish mmHG before the cams. That ain't right. Check your settings, specifically in&out.

unfortunately that is exactly what I'm seeing. :( It's also why I'm figuring I bog down so back at low RPMs. No vacuum = crap load of fuel. It looks more normal when I start moving ... it's just acts funny at idle.

Sounds about right to me idle was goofy without some tuning. But I don't remember exact numbers and I can't get those for you because with the portin it will change it all.

Anyone else? Its more strange with my car because when I initially start it I will have about 190-210 mmHg at idle but once I drive it around it will be down 110-130 mmHg at idle. Once I start press the gas a little it goes down to -40 or -50 mmHg and bogs like crazy then gets better. On a WOT run it's always about -40 mmHg.

on paper, at WOT, the pressure setting should be 0 mmHg. i use 5 in and 5 out with my AFC, seems to work the best. right now my idle is around -16 to -17 inches of mercury on the boost gauge, and my AFC claims -460 mmHg, and my electronic boost controller claims -420 to -440. hmmm...

Sounds pretty close with stock cams. I got around -500mmHg with stock cams. With the Crower stage 2s though it's a completely different story.

i have the crane nitrous grind cams, which are are pretty close in spec to the crower 2's and i see 16-18 inches at idle...seems like something is deff wrong with yours...:wary
