I have not put a gauge on my exhaust line/CC to see an actual number, but I can tell you at idle I have decent vacuum on the system. I'll be glad to swing by and let you listen to the air release when the dip stick is pulled out at idle.
Most that I've read were using the summit kit. It has an angled bung with a slash cut tube. Before this is a check valve. I can't verify if they had it oriented properly though.

I might take you up on that. I'm rebuilding my SR right now and I'm wanting to get the best seal possible as I wear in the new rings. A few years ago I read about using the exhaust to pull vacuum and it seemed like the best method however checking again now it seems that it doesn't do so well under moderate / high loads.
