ok i have four things that need to be ran off of vacuum
1.boost guage
2.blow off valve
3.fuel pump voltage booster
4.alky control
i was going to just use the vacuum port on the side of the intake for the boost gauge and the BOV (im still running the stock truck intake) and just use the t that came with the boost gauge and i didnt know if slipping that vacuum source would be enough to be split 4 ways or what do you recommend that i should do thanks in advance

I run my BOV, Boost Gauge and Alky Control from the passenger side with no problem. So it will handle 3 for sure and should be good for the voltage booster as well. I would give it a try. You can also use the brake booster but it might be a little hard to find a T fitting the correct size.

If you can, find a way to use a vacuum log of some sort.
It's ok to stack lots of things off that one port on the manifold. BUT.... you have to try to keep your connections to a minimum that could cause leaks over time. (Since rubber if used can crack and dry rot) And the last thing you want is a weak signal going to your meth system, or voltage booster. IF not just be safe and change the lines out every year or so, just to make sure they aren't getting hard and brittle.
Here is what I make that I include in all of my builds. This little part makes life a life easier, by being able to work inline with the brake booster. (If you have vacuum assist) Plus gives you at a minimum 3 dedicated ports. Although costs a bit, its earned its keep in solving vacuum related issues. I am sure you can find or make something similar.
Sorry this is on a ford, it was the closest thing to me a couple seconds ago when my camera was handy. But it shows how you can use it both inline or like I have it just terminated using both a push lock fitting, and a standard barb to rubber line.
