what vacuum number should i see on my boost gauge at idle at sea level?

My boost gauge at startup idle reads a vacuum, -10, rpm about 1000. I have a RMW Head and crankshaft (and btw LOVE IT... Highly recommended); 17% helix pulley, obx header, larger Alte Classisc Intercooler, CAI,, etc... Don't remember seing the vacuum that low, but it may have been. Can anyone confirm? I am at sea level. TIA Michael

When my car is warmed up and at idle I see about 14 in Hg steady.
