HOw much boost are you seeing at WOT? Also how much vaccum are you pulling at idle?

Maybe a bad boost gauge? I see between 12 and 14 Hg at cruise/idle, immediately jumps to zero at any rpm below 3000 at WOT, then from 3000 - 6000 builds boost between 1# and 6#, and hits like a ton of bricks at 3500 rpms. I thought I'd see more boost down low too...
