Default SAFC sits at -760mmhg and doesnt move...AT ALL

is this normal? what could it be? is there any way to "toggle" it to make it move with my manifold pressure?

or check and see if the other gauges arent moving becuase if im not mistaken, there is a "freeze" button or something... maybe its "recall" im not sure..

I believe that it is supposed to be in the negative's then close to 0 at WOT.

Recheck all your wiring to make sure that's not the problem.

are you running the AFC hack? if so, then you need to get rid of that missing link ASAP. the AFC hack works by scaling back the map sensor voltage output to avoid a check engine light and if you have a missing link, the map sensor isnt seeing any boost, which means the AFC is scaling back EVEN FURTHER the map sensor output. I wouldn't doubt it if you are running in the first column only of your ignition and fuel tables, which would mean EXTREMELY advanced timing and very low injector pulsewidths.

it would still move though.....my pressure fluctuated when my car was idling...then as I got closer to WOT..it go towards zero then a positive number
