Default Length of Brake Booster Vacuum Line with Vacuum manifold??

I'm running a Golden Eagle vacuum manifold and was wondering how long I can extend the brake booster Vac line coming out of the firewall? This is an important vac line and I'm not sure if their are any downfalls. Would the vac signal take longer because of the length of the line? Could this be a potentially dangerous situation?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Yeah just make sure your clamps are on tight on the(fitting) and you'll be fine. I havent had any problem with mine. I ran steelbraided line from the fitting to the inlet. Line is about 7" long.

Where do you plan on mounting it, that you need that long of a hose? Is thier no room on the firewall?
