just hide a vacuum pump under the dash and plumb it into the vacuum tank. Use a regulator, make it read whatever you want it to read.....
Better try something, seriously doubt you'll get 16" of vacuum with the cam you mentioned......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Wan't that make too much noise and be detected? I am allowed to run open headers at some tracks so might not be caught on those.

I don't have any idea.... Never have had a desire to run anywhere that has a vacuum rule... But a strong vacuum signal is not an inherent quality of a solid roller high performance cam.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I know very little about engine building and even less about cam specs but that grind is what the tech at Howards recommended for my application

I raised it last week to 1500 rpm to pull the required 16''. Thank goodness they did not check the tach or no $ brought home.

Well, what cam do you have in it now? If this is bigger, more duration, more overlap, etc.... I doubt it will make more vacuum.......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

He said it would pull but still a little worried after reading the posts. Hate to spend the money and still have problems with a new motor.

It takes a ton of abuse. Stock bottom end with mild cam when I bought it in 3/07. I changed to Vortec heads with big valves ,Air gap intake and 750 Demon and it can sling the mud off those 44" tires. Just looking to step up to a bb to run more classes

A man was watching his wife as she prepared to fry sausages in a pan. He noticed that before placing the sausages in the pan, she always cut off both ends, threw them away, and cooked only the middle...
