hey guys i have a question:

if i get a wideband air/fuel ratio gauge is it still advisable to get a fuel pressure gauge? i'm running a 100 wet shot and i also have a tune with the timing retarded and a little extra fuel on my xcalII.

All a air fuel guage will do is monitor your air fuel ratio. If you get fuel pressure gauge it will monitor your fuel pressure.

The fuel pressure guage would certainly be good to have, but I certainly any change in fuel pressure will show up on the A/F guage, and regardless what the fuel pressure guage reads, if that wideband pegs lean, I'm letting off!

yes.

a wideband a/f gauge is a must on just about any modded car. why WOULDNT you want to be able to see your true a/f ratio in realtime?

and since you are nitrous, a fuel pressure gauge is also a very good thing.

also if you want a triple pillar setup, id throw in a EGT gauge as well. buddy of mine in his dsm was on the freeway when his EGT shot up, his a/f remained where it should be. pulled over, and found his water pump was done, and the water temp gauges are slow to react in those cars.

I agree with thomas on the EGT gauge, I'd say its more important and accurate than an AFR gauge. The FP gauge is a good idea, but for as much as they cost you should get the EGT, assuming you already have a FP safety switch for the nitrous to do emergency monitoring on the pump in case it goes out halfway through a nitrous pass.
