Default Fuel pressure regulator
I'm installing a new Miniram on my race car. 383 CI stroker motor. Would not hooking up the vacuum connection on the fuel pressure regulator be the way to go since it would indicate there is little or no vacuum translating to the regulator that there is wide open throttle , therefore always maintaining max fuel pressure??

You can tweak the tune for WOT and not use the vac. Not that big of a thing, you will need to tune anyway.

Yeah You Need Computer Control For It Otherwise You Will Run Into Problems. More Fuel Does Not Mean More Power.
