If you don't have an aftermarket lift pump the pressure is zero.

What is your air dog rated to put out?

The airdog should only be putting about 12 psi on the CP3 pump. Then the cp3 pump pressurizes the fuel rails allot higher, 4,000-26,000psi+

I'd probably go with a 0-20 just incase you have a lil over 12 psi, I've heard of some being as high as 15 psi.

i was just thinking...if i had a 0-15 gauge, and the psi hit 16, will that wreck the gauge?
