    I came up with this equation to predict performance gains when adding a vacuum pump. I'd appreciate it if you would run the numbers and report back how close the equation is to your actual measured gain. Pretty sure it's nearly dead nuts, but I've certainly been wrong before. Vacuum in...

    I am in the home stretch! I have eliminated the turbos for the time being, but I still have my boost referenced carb. Do I plug the boost reference port, or run vacuum to it?
