Since the cams were put in, the car would idle at ~10" (according to the gauge) and that number would sometimes go to 5" or less depending on how hot the engine is and whether or not the heat/air was on. A few times i've almost rolled into traffic with the brakes all the way down and the car still moving!!!
First tried using a vacuum canister, but that didn't help at idle at all so I got a vacuum pump from Comp Cams through Jegs http://www.jegs.com/i/Comp-Cams/249/5500/10002/-1&parentProductId=945586
Just put it in and it does make some noise but it's not bad especially since you can barely hear it over the car itself lol...
Still getting ~10" of vac on the gauge with the manifold vacuum line plugged off. The pump works off a relay, and is wired into an add-a-fuse in the passenger kick panel. The pump itself is mounted on the firewall next to the battery, I'll have pictures tomorrow... racing 1/4 mile tonight!!!!!!!! The air is cool, it's going to be faaaast. It's good to have solid brakes again.
edit: here's pictures
The kit came with rubber mounts, but that made it stick out too far and rest on the fuel rail.
