Default Oil Pressure

is the stock oil pressure gauge a dummy like the water temp gauge? i'm gonna be putting a water temp gauge in the a-pillar and wanna know what is recommended for a heads/cam car.

water temp is a must
oil pressure if the stocker is a dummy
oil temp maybe?

thanks

Jacob

Oil pressure guage works fine. Well, it works lol. You should not worry about anything but the water temp guage, everything else is "if you feel like it".

No I dont, I like to live life dangerously.

Actually the '98 water temp guages worked decently, 99+ guages were junk. It's important to note that the car displaying the temp to the driver, is what is junk, not the temp sending unit. The PCM knows EXACTLY what temperature the coolant is, it just chooses to lie to you for some reason.

BOOST!!!!!!! Then you can get the turbo to go with it, because it would be dumb to have a boost guage and no turbo.
