Are you using an FMU with it? The choices are carbed apps(0-30psi) or EFI(0-100psi), if not using an FMU pressure will never go above 45psi give or take but if you are you could see spikes up into the 60-70psi range.

So 0-100 it is.

Any suggestions on a Vac/boost gauge? Or should I just run a boost gauge

I'd get the vac/boost gauge, tells you more information.

Where did you find the supercharger? Vortech doesn't make them anymore, and I'd like to install one in my truck.

This particular one only goes up to 60psi, but as far as the quality I really like it. One of the best gauges I have ever owned. This electric gauge has an attribute programmer available that you can fine tune the settings, like warning light, backlighting brightness, pressure readings, and filter out the pulsations. It is expensive, but well worth it.

Thanks but i am trying to put 3 matching gauges in. And AEM has the only Wideband A/F gauge I could find to match the stock gauges so I am going with all AEM gauges. A little over $600 for 3 gauges and a A piller pod mount
