What two gauges should I get for spraying? I know I want nitrous pressure gauge. But should I also get A/F ratio or fuel pressure? Should I go with full sweep gauges? Would electric gauges be better?

Re: What two gauges should I get for spraying? If you're running AutoTap/LS1Edt/etc., then you can use that to monitor A/F, so i'd get the fuel pressure and the nitrous pressure. In the absense of monitoring software, I'd go with nitrous pressure and A/F. As far as electric gauges go, the electric nitrous pressure gauges are sure nice, but they are expensive, plan $185-200 at least. For fuel pressure, if you're planning to have it in the cabin, then electric is the best option, however, autometer presently only has full sweep electric fuel pressure gauges available, and again they are expensive. Their short sweeps should be available again soon, and are much less expensive. Searching out another brand may yield something more reasonable as well.
Re: What two gauges should I get for spraying? I have used a temporary fuel pressure gauge on a hose slipped under wiper arm. Its good for testing fuel pressure drop when n2o activated. cheap but not what you want to drive around town with, unless you are trying to look ghetto to get some races.
