Fuel Pressure Gauge Installed!!!

It has been installed since around July but I have finally got around to taking a few pics. It is a really handy to have so you know if you are getting enough fuel pressure. It is cool seeing the gauge move and see how the pressure fluctuates from hitting the gas and letting off the gas. Here are of few pics of the gauges installed. The last one is the only pic I have of the gauges lit up at night I will take some better night pics soon.







Here is the sending unit intstalled on the fuel rail

looks good man. I installed a fuel pressure gauge underneath my hood...wished I would have spent the extra cash and got the electric fuel psi gauge though

I noticed you have the 3 pillar pod....what is the next guage your going to install? Nitrous PSI or Boost?

Actually all 3 of them are filled right now. The top one is a volt meter gauge. If I decide to switch that one out it will more than likely be a nitrous psi gauge because I am toying with the idea of putting nitrous on it in the spring. It will only be either 75 or 100 shot but I don't plan on using it that much. Will use the purge valve more than anything.

That gauge cost how much? I just did a quick search on Jegs and it was up in the $150 range?

Looks awesome by the way, but damn that's expensive.
