AW: Manifold Pressure Gauge

Sorry to once more come up with this matter - I have a Mani-pressure
gauge installed (with a fix-pitch Warp Drive prop), however, I cannot
understand the function of the meter. How by all means does the
pressure in the carburator affect the power setting ?

Isn't the pressure there simply a function of the ambient air pressure ?
How does the rpm and the torque excerted by the prop pitch feedback
to the pressure in the carb ? The engine is a big air-pump. And
with high rpm it should be sucking a lot of air and that should
make the mani-pressure drop, isn't it ?

Could someone please bring light into this miracle ?

Sincerely,

PS: I was called by the factory - they're shipping speed kits for the
    Trigear now !
