My fuel pressure gauge has been extremely useful with my car ever since I got it. It helped me figure out when my stock pump was going away, and it helps us see the fuel pressure of my current setup.

So when they say 100% duty cycle... does that mean anything about the fuel pressure?

100% duty cycle refers to the injectors.
