Ok here is a question. I'm going to install gauges in my truck. I know I'm going with trans temp, exhaust temp, and I already have boost gauge. The question is should I get a hpop gauge or fuel pressure gauge to finish out my set. Thanks for any help.

Fuel PSI hands down.

Saved my ass several times.

I would never run a gauge for hpo.. it can be read from data so I use that.

Thanks fellows. That's the info I was looking for. Also what should fuel pressure always be reading and what kind of drop will indicate a problem.

I have fuel rail crossover/regulator and i use the middle spring so I have about 65 psi constantly and it never drops more than 5 psi

Factory fuel and filtration is best. Pre fiilter is an amazIng add on.

Unless you have other plans that require big fuel or oil.. I wouldn't.

Yep. That's what I'm going with is actual gauges. I want to see what's actually going on.

I am 61 and I find it much easier at night to glance at gauges and read them than it is to try and read the constantly flashing numbers on these little screens.
