You won't have pressure at the center port until it's in a forward gear...the exception being some valve bodies that don't pressurize the accumulator in which case you won't be able to get a pressure reading there in any gear.

i have a A&A LBA brake with safe Neutral, do you know if that VB pumps up the pressure?

The LBA valve body blocks the accumulator so there is no pressure at the center port ever.
You can get a pressure reading at the front (kickdown servo) test port when the trans is in 3rd gear or the rear servo port when the trans is in 1st gear.
