im looking to install the NOS import kit... i wanna go 60 shot...
what gauges am i looking to get additional to the A/F ratio Gauge?

i want to put not more than 3 and i want to install them in the center console above center vents on that flat spot in a triple gauge pod... i saw it done on a mustang and i liked it... and its hard to notice from outside like the ones that are on the pillars...

so what other gauges do i need?

lemme know

thanks

Hmm... Fuel Pressure, electrical not mechanical; Exhaust gas temperature; NOS pressure... Those are the best ones I can think of. Good luck!

ok i have a A/F and a Fuel Pressure and A nos gauges. i have the nos gauges mounted in the trunk and the a/f and fp on the pillar. i'm gonna get a EGT because i don't feel the a/f is accurate enough for me esp with a 100shot. so i would have to agree with MTRAI. and get a full sweep fuel pressure, electrical. i have a half and don't like it but it will do until i can get a new one.

It will help you moniter your engine: Lean= higher temp, rich= lower temp. I don't know the exact temp range, I don't have an EGT YET, but I know Mardigrasmax and SX7R do... Good luck.

Get an EGT rather than A/F.

Like everyone said, get a NOS pressure gauge. It is very important to monitor this. I have all electrical gauges..not the mechanical ones. I would sugguest getting teh FP & EGT as well. They are very important to monitor when spraying.

EGT=100 FP(good one)=180 A/F=50 and NOS=50(4-an fitting for the nos one) You can get them all and everything you need from summitracing.com.
