Vacuum secondaries have nothing to do with manifold vacuum. They run off of venturi vacuum, which is related to the velocity of the air/fuel mixture down through the carb. A big cam with low manifold vacuum will do just fine with a vacuum secondary carb. If your engine builder, or engine tuner, doesn't understand the difference between the two then you shouldn't let him even look at your engine.
