I plan on installing my fuel pressure and water temp gauges in the morning and was looking for some help. I'm really not sure where to begin with the fuel pressure gauge(electric). Where did some of you tap in for power? I believe I can remove a plug from the block to install the water temp, but I'll have to take a closer look. Any help would be great!

splice the fuel gauge into your ignition switch...that way the light for your gauge isn't always on. Just check each of the wires and find one that doesn't have power in it until you turn the key. I think this is how it is done anyway. A buddy of mine did it for me..i just watched and asked questions.

Thanks, that write up looks pretty helpful. I already have a single pillar with my nitrous pressure gauge so it shouldn't be too hard to splice into it for power and ground. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Just use a testing light on the fuse block to find your switched 12+. And the dimmer circuit is in the fuse block too. it's like fuse number 37 or something. You definetly want your gauges to only light up when you turn on your lights to add life to the gauge lights.

BTW Joe nice numbers, it looks like you and I are on the same pace and course for our mods.

I wish I could get a cam with more lope but my compression restricts me to a 500 lift. I did recently buy a NOS nozzle kit to replace my dry one. I'll be installing it next sunday with a 200 shot. It should wake my car up tremendously. I just want a mid 11 second daily driver, is that to much to ask
