@idle it should be around 20 on a stock block.

If you are built with lower compression pistons, then it will be lower, like around 17-18 at idle.

it depends on where you live and your altitude. the higher up the lower the vaccume will read.

My gauge reads 14.7 on start up (std atmospheric pressure), and hovers around -5 to -6 at idle, built 9:1 compression. Haven't figured out yet how to get it to be a true boost gauge with zero offset instead of 14.7 (innovate auxbox map sensor).

well he is in Miami and he is asking what his gauge should read, so I think it would be safe for people to call out sea level readings.
