What temperature is more important to monitor......
I'm looking to install a dualpod a-pillar unit. One of the gauges will be Nitrous pressure for later on, what should the other be?
What is my money better spent on from these other 3 choices??? I guess it is more than possible that I could install a 2 or 3 position switch in the pod also to monitor them all. Install 3 sending units and all of the wireing and the just flip between whatever one I want to see at the time.
Feel free to add another if you think it is more important.

My first choice would be FP; maybe A/F ratio would be a good 2nd choice if you go with the switch idea.
So, your new best pass wasn't good enough I guess.;)

I voted for the Fuel Pressure gauge.
Are you going with a WET or DRY system?
Because if you are getting a DRY system then you want to monitor the main Fuel Pressure, but if you are going with a WET system then you want to monitor the Fuel Pressure going to the Nitrous.

I've gone through my share of bugaboos. I must have had the fuel pressure gauge taped to the windshield about 5 times this season! Vote 1. FP GAUGE :D
Umm, prolly A/F Gauge wouldn't be a bad idea. Tranny temp too. A Real tach is going in mine before long(I raced since last year with a fluttery tach) so I can know where and when to shift.

GUYS IT CAN'T BE A MECHANICAL FUEL PRESSURE GUAGE.
YOU CAN'T HAVE RAW FUEL INSIDE THE CAR. THATS WHY YOU SEE FB GAGES MOUNTED ON THE HOOD OR COWL.
ELECTRIC GAGES ARE USELESS.

If your going to rely on a guage you want one that will be on the money. Electric guages can be affected by to many things and can be unreliable.
Look at any REAL race car and all you will see is mechanical guages.
If you don't care about TRUE ACCURACY or just want the look then go for the elctrical guage.

There's nothing wrong with good electrical gauges. They are used in many applications that need accurate measurements. :cheers:
