A FP guage in the cabin is a lot more interesting than one on the fuel rail. At least with one inside you can see if your fuel pressure stays up at full load. Under the hood it's just another fire hazard. Other gauges of interest would be boost/vac and wideband O2.

I did some research and autometer makes an electric fpg for inside the cabin. The fpg that many of us install with the teflon tape is incorrect. The gas eats away at the teflon. I just bumped the fpg and it started to leak, upon removing it the teflon was dissolved. They do make a special teflon tape thats impervious to gasoline. I jus have to find out who sells it. Reno

I'm using Ultra Lite II electronic gauges. They have data output which makes it nice to hook to LM-1 for logging data. The worst thing is adapting to the fuel rail. I drilled and tapped a 1/8" elbow and used a copper washer to seal to the rail.

Yes on the accurate part compared pressures with my calibrated test gauges.
As for the boost gauge its the only electronic vacuum I have. Its from my Toyota pickup. Its a Pro-Comp with recall and warning.
