I have a vacuum gauge I'm going to hook up so I can watch it during a pass down the track.

Remember that it's when the manifold vacuum is below the rating that the power valve is open. At WOT, the vacuum is right at 0 or a hair more. No matter what pwer valve # you use, it will always be open at WOT.
