Default Boost gauge location - where to tap on suburban?

Alright, my dad has a supercharged 454 suburban and I want to put a boost gauge on it... The problem is that I don't know where to tap for the hose. I know on the hondas you do it off the brake booster line, but i don't see on one the 454. Any advice would be great. Thanks

On "hondas" you do not HAVE to tap into the brake booster line.
Any intake manifold source will do.
This applies to all cars.

I use the MAP sensor line. Tend to stay away from the FPR Line. I've heard horror stories of the Signal line popping of, going lean then BOOM> At least with the MAP or Dashpot, or Purge Soleniod you don't worry about that. You either throw a instant CEL or get a vac leak.

i wouldnt recommend going off of the cruise control, i know my cruise control line doesnt always give accurate signals but my FPR line always does.
