The DynoTune Gauges are the most acurate and very reasonably priced.
Full 100% billet construction with a screw on nut on the back, not brackets! Full electric, no lines or fuel in the cabin.
Cheers!

I've got a dynotune digital nitrous pressure gauge, and a autometer fuel pressure and air/fuel gauge in my SS with nitrous. The air/fuel is just filling a spot until I can afford a wideband o2 setup. Fuel pressure gauge is easy. The sender just plugs into your fuel rail. The same place your fuel line for the nitrous plugs in. You'll need a splitter so you can hook both up. Then you just run the electrical wires from the sender into the cab to the gauge and you/re done. Same deal for the nitrous gauge. Installed the sender on my nitrous line where the mechanical gauge was (right next to where the bottle hooks ups), and then just run the wiring up to the gauge.

Yes, the cam and nitrous are on a stock motor. Stock heads, internals, and stock intake. Still need to buy a LS6. Other than those mods, I've got most of the bolt-ons. The engine has around 36,000 miles on it. Haven't really taken precautions, hahaha. Other than the stuff that came with my cam, springs, hardened pushrods, etc..., everything else is bone stock. Nitrous has a window switch and WOT switch. Had a FPSS, but it started leaking. Figure I'll just keep an eye on my fuel pressure from within the vehicle as best as I can and if stuff gets out of whack, I'll shut it down.

My car has run 12.3 N/A with around a 1.9 60 foot, so still room for improvement, but not until I get a 9" in back. My nitrous run, the 11.9, was a 100 shot. N/A run was with a half decent MAFT tune. I was back to stock tuning when I ran the nitrous. Only did a few runs as I didn't want to screw anything up. I was running 12.8's - 12.9's N/A that day, so expect to see some mid-low 11's on the spray once it's tuned.

Not sure on exact specs of the T1, anyone know?
