Master Flo gauge

Well I can't help but to share my new toy. I picked up a Master Flo Check Pro gauge from Nitro Dave and this is a thing of beauty. Beautiful BIG 6" read out. Them some tiny little increments for measuring psi there

Great NX piece!

I used one and it definitely is bad ***. Word of caution, make sure that it is straight up and down when you use it. The gauge is so heavy that gravity does some magical things to the readings. Just make sure that you hold it the same way each and every time you use it. Also, make sure that keep the reference line straight and bleed the air out before taking your reading. If you do that you're readings will be spot on every time.

Thanks Derty. I noticed when I first looked at the gauge lying flat in it's case it wasn't reading 0. Then I held it upright and realized what you are talking about.

It's also important to hold the gauge level with the solenoids when flowing your system. Like Derty said, gravity will affect your reading.

Ben - I wouldn't have known that had the instructions not directed me accordingly. I guess it pays to read those things

basically put it level with the solenoids and hold the gauge so it zeroes out the needle it's what i use and it reads the same as some of my buddies really expensive ones that they calibrate with the zero out ****.

Wait untill you use it and compare it to the guage on the car. The guage on my buddy's car was over 1 psi off. WOW were we surprised. That's huge on a 400 shot.
