By Golly, I think you have it.  I would be careful putting a hard pitot that might get into your new engine.  A simple small soft plastic line inserted somewhere in your runner with a 45-60 degree camfer on the end will measure most of the pressure we are trying to prove is there. Just make sure the largest opening in the cut off line is looking upstream at the incoming runner's air from the T/B. 
 
Hi Bernie,
 
I was already worrying about anything that might get into the engine.  I probably don't need the pitot style probe full time, but rather just for some ground runs to prove whether the intake is behaving well.  Once I find that out, I could remove the pitot line, and just continue using the normal MAP ports.  I'll take a look at the situation next time I have the cowl off, and see if there's a good way to temporarily set this up.  
 
are you going to make Slobvovia Flyin? 
 
I don't believe so.  If I did go, it would only be for a few hours Saturday, but it's a long shot at the moment. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
