I just recently instlled my NOS and I am missing something. Well, it turned out to be the gauges lol. What type of gauges should I install and from what manufacturer should I buy from? Thanks all. I am going to be upgrading my fuel pump later and putting in 75 HP, so I know I wil need a fuel pressure gauge, but what other gauge should I get? Thanks all.

EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature)
Maybe Air/Fuel Ratio but the cheap ones are all show/no go.
N2O Pressure

I think the EGT is vital, the rest are auxillary.

EGT and Fuel pressure. You can get the A/F but it's not all that useful. www.summitracing.com seems to have the best prices. Make sure you get an electrical fuel pressure guage so that you don't have to run a fuel line into the cabin. A full sweep fuel pressure gauge is more $$$ but also better for tuning as it is more accurate. http://members-http-2.rwc1.sfba.home.net/syclone/APE/ fuel pump #fpd006 $118 shipped, takes less than an hour to install. Good luck!

It depends on what you want to monitor. If you want to monitor fuel, thats good. but the safety switch will watch it for you.

NOS pressure is good too, you can monitor pressure at the bottle and at the solenoids.

The NOS saftey switch that comes with the NOS dry nitrous kit is not set properly from the factory for our application, its set too low. This can cause a momentary leaness at nitrous activation. The FP gauge should be used to set it to the correct setting, which is a few psi below the propper fuel pressure level that will give you a safe a/f ratio. This is especially true with a 75 shot or higher, fuel pressure becomes critical for saftey and performance.

IMHO
