3 bar map and single plane Where are you guys hooking up the map on the gmpp intakes? Does it have to go the intake or will a hose coming off the back of the elbow to the map work? Any pics?
on my edelbrock intake, on the pass side just below the carb., i drilled/tapped a 1/8" npt hole, put a nipple in, and hooked up to it
someday im gonna figure out why i did this, and how to program it, lol

Is it going to be secure enough for high boost?
It would be nice to switch to -4 SS braided line for security, but no MAP sensor I've seen has anything but a plastic nipple.

I have never been a fan of plastic MAP sensors but cant say I have ever had an issue either. I like the SSI Map sensor that came with my AMS1000 and thought about ordering another for datalogging manifold pressure and for use on my MSD box. Just dont know if its compatible with the ignition box. Pricey but you would never have to worry about a hose coming off as you can just screw it directly into a hole tapped for 1/8" NPT.

I just ordered a GM 3 bar and a conversion harness from Speed Inc. So I will try the plastic map. I already have a few brass barbs on the back of the elbow, just not sure where to mount the sensor.

Well I just thumbed through the new GM High Tech, aka "The Bible" and in the feature of Turley's car, you can see his Map come off the elbow with a short hose, then mounted on the cowl. He is pushing 28+ psi, so I should be OK.
