To vacuum, or not to vacuum FPR

Would like to know from people who are running an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator such as the below if you are running a vacuum line or if you are leaving it open to the atmosphere?

Thanks, Dan

Well.... I guess nobody has one. On another note, I ran the car for about an hour last night and it seems it's doing just fine without a vacuum line.

Unlike TPI or boosted carb, the LSx operates at constant pressure. So, cap the vacuum port.

Good to know, I was unsure about this as well.
