hey guys im thinking of putting a dual pillar gauge mount in my truck. i already have the overhead mount with a pyro and boost gauge. i was thinking of putting a fuel pressure gauge in. what other gauges would i need? i dont have a lift pump currently but am looking into getting one. i kinda want the gauges just cuz the look but also i want em so i can monitor my truck. any help would work. thanks

whats the difference in the gauges? 1 fuel pressure gauge is a low pressure it will tell u the pressure going to the CP3, u never want more then 20psi at the most going to the cp3. 2 a fuel rail pressure gauge tells u the pressure is inside the fuel rail it ranges from 1,000psi to almost 30,000psi at wot,

what would be the diffference in getting th pump b4 the gauge, well if u install a fuel rail gauge now then get a pump and a gauge later down the road u have to tear the a piller apart again to wire up the second gauge, unless u were to hook up 90% of fuel pressure gauge and then just plug it in when u get the lift pump, or try to do it all at once if u can
