Is 7.5-8 in. vacuum at idle too much - 04/15/11 09:29 PM

Was wondering if having 7.5-8 inches of vacuum at idle too much?
I haven't read my gauge going down track since installing my new Star standard vacuum pump.

The only number that really matters is the maximum vacuum you are pulling. To much vac and you can smoke the wrist pins. Mine only carries about 4-5 inches at idle, but is set to 12 inches max.
