Manifold pressure [vacuum] decreases with demand.
I said manifold pressure, that is the opposite of vacuum, not the same thing.
Yes it is the same, but it is a negative pressure.
Whatever you posted yesterday, you corrected today, but not entirely.
Intake manifolds never do see positive pressure, so unless you are talking about a supercharged engine, you leave that term out of the conversation.
I've never seen any engine acheive 30 inches...I'll bet there is an exponential relationship between 25 inches [normally produced] and 30.
