What is considered low?
Take two 462ci engines one idles with 14" and the other 10", I know the idle will be slightly rougher (most likely anyway) on the engine with 10" of vacuum vs the 14" of vacuum but besides that what else? Once the engine gets off idle you'll never know there was a difference.
