So keep it in 5th whenever possible, and keep the vacuum as high as the engine will allow - right?

How does this methodology apply to forced induction? Am I still trying to keep a high vacuum number? (Or as low boost as possible, given certain situations). If you don't know, it's no biggie, I was just wondering.
