Im Thinking about a custom Supercharger mounted ontop of my engine in place of the upper intake, Now I remember with my intake swap there was vaccum lines connected to the upper intake... what do I do with those to get vaccum?? thanks for the time!

kenne bell superchargers are mounted like that

you'll need to drill and tap fittings for them, after the throttle body, but before the boost side of the supercharger

the fuel pressure regulator should see the boost though

Click to expand...

The pressure regulator hose is at ~15 psi just sitting there (standard atmospheric pressure), so boost means 15psi + whatever boost you get, whereas vacuum is 15psi - whatever vacuum you are drawing.
