Hey have you figured out your problem? If not I have some advice. Double check you in out settings on the SAFC. I have a rom tune on my car, and just use the safc for fine tuning, and my idle and car ran like crap all the way till like 2krpm and AFR's were all out of wack. So I went through every single setting on my safc again and found out that my freakin In and Out setting were all wrong. Now the car run's like a charm.

Why don't you check your cam timing as well. If it is off your car will idle like **** and have low vaccuum. Take a pic if you can of your cam positions. I had the same problem of low vac and bad idle and just had to adjust my cam timing.

I am still trying to figure out if he is reading 10" or -10psi (not a real measurement, but still commonly used). One is okay and one indicates bad cam timing. Can we get an answer?

Started to say check your in and out but someone bat me to it. Both my cams were off 1 tooth. I was driving around boosting.... Never knew I had a problem till I raced a SS camaro and tried to go to redline. Car had no top end. I was too sick to my stomach to get a copy of the dyno. 191 torque and 163 hp at 10psi.... power peaked at 4000rpms and then dropped...
