Fuel pressure should be anyones #4 gauge.

Take another look at Isspro gauges, in your case where you sound like you might add more gauges down the road, the Performax line is right up your alley... You can run up to 17 gauges off the ESP box under the hood. All your sensor wires run to that and only three wires go thru the fire wall to run 17 gauges. You can have senders hooked to the ESP, and swap gauges out as you need them...

Say your pulling a camper to the track, you would run a pyro, fuel pressure, boost and tranny temp....

But once at the track you would not need a tranny temp, pull the tranny temp and install a HPOP gauge... Just that easy!

You can data log thru all your gauges, Peak recall (at the end of the track you want to know what your max boost was... Push a button and all your gauges go to there max reading)

Take a look at the Performax, there doing a 100 rebate for a few more weeks I think too...

Well I stand corrected. I just went ahead and got both though, so it didn't matter to me.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Joe
These gauges are definitely they best on the market and they match the stock dash perfectly. The $100 rebate is only on for another week though.
