Manifold Pressure (was:How to get 300bhp at 1.0bar)

I was always under the impression that a NA motor would exhibit negative
manifold pressure (vacuum) under all conditions.  I think the MFA on my car
will tell me what the manifold pressure is (anyone with a MFA should be
able to do this, there is a ritual involved though).  I'll have to check.
