Default A pillar guages

I want to mount a Nitrous pressure guage as well as a fuel pressure guage on the A pillar. I found the Autometer guage pod part number 10190. Does anyone have suggestions for the guages themselves and how do you safely put a fuel pressure guage in the A pillar as well as a Nirtrous guage. Is this more work than it's worth ?

My Autometer fuel gauge is electric as is the Autometer N2O gauge. This way you do not run either into the cars interior. Run Nitrious lines under car instead of threw interior. All I run inside my car setup is electrical lines.

That's right! Running fuel lines into the cabin is a No no for obvious reasons!

Get an electric fuel pressure gauge with a fuel pressure sensor that goes on to the fuel lines and sends the reading via wire to an electric gauge on the inside.

My nitrous line does run under the car. I should have asked what are the cheapest electronic guages for N20 and Fuel pressure in 2 1/16
I'll have $400.00 bucks in this ouch

$200 for the electric FP gauge, $200 for the NO2 electric pressure gauge, and $30 for the dual pod from Summit. Here's my tranny temp and FP in mine....

I have the Autometer dual gauge pod. I have not bought the Autometer gauges yet because I thought $500 was too damn expensive. The glowshift gauges are definately worth looking at. Are you using these? How are they holding up? I definately need the N2O gauge. Now I need to choose between a wideband and a fuel pressure gauge.

Thanks

I'm running a Stewart Warner FP guage. Less than $100, the sending unit was included and I've had no problems.
