Default Should I bother using a FPSS with my nitrous?

Does the fuel pressure safety switch cause more problems than it's worth? I have a FP gauge on my gauge pod. I can get a A/F switch for around $50, a EGT switch for around $150, or should I just use the FPSS? Or none of the above.

Just curious......

Thanks!

The FPSS will react a lot faster than you looking at your gauge. They are good for full fuel pressure failure.

ok....I may as well put it on. I already have the Hobbs switch and was pissing about having to put it on. :banghead:

Thanks for straightening me out guys.
