I like the way autometer cobalt gauges look.

I would suggest a nitrous pressure and fuel pressure. They are a little expensive though.

Nitrous, fuel, EGT and oil pressure are good ones to have. You just have to decide how many gauges you want and can accomidate.

I just got the DynoTune digital n20 pressure gauge and the Dynotune digital A/F ratio gauge(reads in millivolts) put in last week. The A/F gauge came with a purchase I did on eBay. I know its not 100% accurate reading off of o2 sensor but it will work untill I do the wideband one day. They are really nice gauges. Let me know if you want some pics!

Fuel Pressure, Nitrous pressure, Air Fuel Mixture

Oh boy here we go again with the whole A/F thing.



Let's make it perfectly clear that it's supposed to be a 5V wideband or UEGO type A/F setup. 1V narrowband setups need not apply.


NOTE: No disrespect to your post KySilverado, just clarifying your post a bit.

None taken. But I have to question the absolute need for wide band monitoring of a nitrous aided pull. Narrow band will still indicate an extreme lean condition and rather quickly I suspect. I'll take that over nothing when playing with nitrous. Fine tuning of WOT fueling is another subject

Air Fuel is the most important and though I think wide band is the way to go a narrow band is better then spraying blind

nitrous pressure gauge & a vacuum gauge...the nitrous gauge is for knowin the bottle pressure (nice to have a constant)...vacuum gauge will tell you when things are going bad or if theyve gone bad
