What is the importance of a fuel pressure gauge and how do you read it? I am running nitrous....do i need this gauge?

 

is your kit wet or dry? if you try to run larger than a 125shot with a wet kit i would have one. it should read around 58psi at wot but will drop a little at idle. you would be watching for it to dip at the top of each gear, if the presure falls during a wot blast it only takes a second for it to go lean and break a piston.

 

He's running a 100 shot dry kit.

If your N2O kit is worth its salt it will have a fuel pressure shut off. If the fuel pressure is too low the N2O wont engage. If your kit does not have one they are cheap and easy to add.

 

i wouldn't spend the money on a gauge if your going to stay at a 100 dryshot. prety sure your injectors will run out before your pump. if you decide to push it you might want to look into atap and a fuel presure gauge.
