Question Where to mount my 3 Bar MAP?!?!

I am going to be running an SD tune on my FI LS motor and I need some advice as to where is a safe place to put my 3 bar MAP sensor. Where exactly should I tie it into, what vacuum line should I tee the sensor into? And how long should the vacuum line be? I assume the shorter the better as opposed to running a longer line. Any body have any advice on this matter? Also, if any of you have any pics that you can post up for me to actually see, that would be much appreciated!!! Thanks.

It's a FAST 92mm intake. My existing one bar map is in the back of the manifold, stock location. I'm gonna leave the one bar back there to use as a plug and just connect the 3 bar to the wire harness using the harness adapter cable from caspers electronics.
