constant speed propeller

hi folks

a couple of questions about reciprocating engines and constant speed propellers:

is it a correct statement that the reason my MAP is always less than ambient pressure due to the vacuum induced in the intake manifold as the piston moves away from the cylinder head?

why when you set the cruise power as you reduce the RPM's does the map increases?

how is the MAP affected by the propeller pitch?

many thanks
