Low vacuum question

Actually I'm not necesarely set on Wolverine cams. The only reason I'm running it is because it was all I could get with the engine kit. It's the first Wolverine I've ran. The first Crane you mentioned Moper is actually the one I was wanting but wasn't able to get. I've ran Cranes before and liked them but since there was no option with the kit I had no choice. For now since I'm unemployed I'm going to have to run this one until finances allow different. I know the basics about cams but since I don't know the effect cam timing has on things that well I thought maybe there was something else wrong I was missing as to why the vacuum was so low. Sounds like it is just normal for this cam. Good thing I don't have power brakes.

Rumble I know what you mean about balancing power and economy. I'm just looking to break the 12 -13 mpg. mark. The way it sounds now I'm not so sure it will even come close. I may not know cams but I am a trans. guy. I can do a 727 in my sleep. Running a 166K converter which with my combo should stall at about 2200-2300 so even with 3.55's I should be safe at cruising speeds below 50 mph and I'm running a good size cooler.

Good idea on the shorter/sticky tires for the track to bring down the effective gear also.

Thanks again guys.
