is fuel pressure important?

people will tell you to get an electrical oil pressure and mechanical water temp gauge by the way. and full sweeps are much cooler.

Oil pressure, water temp (maybe fuel pressure for boosted car).

Get mechanical, full sweep. If you're so worried about the oil one in the car, get a pressure isolator. I didn't.

Why full sweep? Just wondering. Just because it looks cooler? Are they more accurate?

My plan is water temp, oil pressure, and fuel pressure under the radio. Then when boost comes A/F and boost. And a small shift light.

The full sweep gives you a broader range…which allows smaller measured increments from which you can read. They are easier to read at first glance…and yes, the do look cooler.
