Default gauge setup for nitrous installation?

Hey guys, I just purchased a nitrous system off e-bay, yes I have my fingers crosssed, I already have a nitrous preassure gauge, would a fuel preassure gauge be a good addition? I don't see a advantage to the fuel/air ratio gauge. I apprercieate any suggestions/comments. Thanks.

Hey compuvette, I see you are from Albion, My mom lives there and my sister is in Ashley, small world.

A fuel pressure gauge isn't a bad idea. I fuel pressure safety switch is a great idea. It will turn off the nitrous if you're fuel pressure drops below a safe level. What brand of kit did you purchase? Was it new? What model?

No, I bought it used, it came off of a l-98 motor per the seller, it is a nos kit. Should be a 05151 kit I believe. Supposedly complete, however that is why the remark about fingers being crossed. No instruction booklet however. When I receive it, I am sure I will have some additional question. This will be my first nitrous car, it is a daily driver, slowly gathering parts to build the 406 for it when the orginal engine gives up, will definitley be only the 75 or the 100 shot on the original motor.
