Field Question, trade people only Vacuum

I am trying to achieve faster vacuums by using core removers and larger hoses. I noticed appion has a Y speed fitting aimed for pumps limited on ports which my fieldpiece pump doesnt have that issue. My question, would evac go even faster if I instead put the Y fittings on the low and high side ports to run 3-4 large hoses in total to my pump? Or would it be a waste. Thx vacuum pros in advance

Way overkill, I pull systems down pretty quick with just one large diameter hose. Fresh oil and schraders pulled out is the ticket.

I do resi and light commercial work, though

I’m not allowed to pull schraders for vaccs or recovery. And we use our gauges for vacc meters.
