Definitely check out Speed of Sound.
only problem im having is i dont want a ton of gauges in my car. Im getting an Strim so all i really want is a boost gauge. Is there a necessity for a 2nd gauge?

Fuel pressure is pretty important, if you're below 43.5psi you can risk running lean as the tune will expect 43.5psi when timing the injectors (i believe). I'm running Boost, fuel pressure, wideband, and trans temp. I wish there were less gauges - but i need em all.
If i can get away with just the 2 then ill survive. The whole extra gauges is so played out. Looks tacky as hell unless your car does 200

If you spent thousands building a transmission, then many thousands more on building an engine, you wouldn't think monitoring trans temp, or oil and/or fuel pressure were so played out. Trust me - i never wanted the gauges.
When i made a thread when i got the first pair of gauges i called it "New Rice"
LOL so you and i feel the same way about them!!!
Your fuel gage is it electric and if so how'd you hook it up inside the car. I've always used the mechanical one on the rail.

It's electric, you dont want fuel inside the cabin. I haven't hooked up up, but likely will off my aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, there's an electrical sending unit/line that attaches to a fitting that measures the fuel pressure right from the source. It's basically an incorperated isolator thats used for mechanical gauges when you dont want to run the fuel into the cabin.
on yours is pretty simple if you get an Electric.(I just installed one) You will need and autometer adapter, part #3280(about $10). Basically, you just thread the sender into the shrader valve on the fuel rail. Just don't over tighten it like I did, snapped right off and now if I start my car I have fuel that shoots out of the valve
Need to get that fixed
