Stareter valve question

Does anyone know for sure if dropping the vaccum, as stated in the workshop manual for cylinder 3 (-20mmHg) and cylinder 4 (-10mmHg) from cylinder 1 is a lower or higher reading?
Example, I only have inHg gauge, and cylinder 1 is around 11inHg at 1200rpm.
If 20mmHg is around 0.8inHg, should I be looking for 11.8inHg, or 10.2inHg?
In my mind, dropping the pressure should be a higher vaccum, so I think 11.8inHg, and it's how I've always have done it.
Am I right?
