Default Nitrous and pressure gauges.

Is it ideal to have a gauge on the bottle and a gauge up front? Since I am in a Corvette it is just as easy to look back and see the pressure Do I waste my money on a digital gauge for up front?

unless you use some angle fittings, you shouldn't be able to see the gauge from the seat. It's on the back side of the bottle and if it's facing you, most bottles would be in the wrong position.

It would seem ideally, the pressure you're most concerned about would be the at the solenoid. Have an electronic pressure gauge up front with the sender mounted right at the solenoid.

Ditto, having an extra gauge up front is important. You need to know what your line pressure is. If it's too high you can lean your engine out, or two low you go pig rich.

www.dynotune.org they make the best stuff on earth, for a good price.

That makes sense guys. With the position of both my bottles I will be able to view the gauges. Since I want this system to be as full proof as possible, it sounds like a digital gauge from Dynotune is in order.

Exactly what I did. I have dual bottles mounted on hump between rear seats, 90 deg angled fittings to point the mechanical pressure gages toward the front of the car (that way I can see them), and a Dynotune Rectangular Pressure Gage reading from engine compartment up at nitrous solenoid.

The gage will be custom mounted in a 'Beer' Switch Panel as soon as it is done

I'd love to see a picture of the dual bottles mounted in between the rear seats if you have one.

I did a bottle gauge and a Pillar gauge. I cannot see the the bottle from the drivers seat in my vert.





Here is an option if you dont want to waste a pillar spot, availible at DynoTune.



Here is a F-Body version that will be availible likely end of March @ Dynotune.
