Well I just purchased my fuel regulator and Code reader, I got $270 left to buy what ever, What do you guys think I should get?

I was thinking maybe a Tach, or Fuel pressure gauge.

What will benifit me the most?

Aren't you going to need the fuel pressure gauge for the regulator anyways to tell how much PSI your fuel pressure is at? I'd get the gauge, and go get some street slicks.

Im getting one later today, but thats no biggie, I can get those dirt cheap. Yep new MSD wires and Double platium Autolite plugs, msd cap and rotor. Got a K&N oil filter running 10w-30 Castrol oil.

I cant decide, I might just get both the fuel pressure gauge and Tach.

I think huge tach's are not cool, but thats me! I would just hold off on it incase you have to get some new sensors, or take it in for tuning and such... but a definaitly get the Multi Meter for the TPS (THrottle responce MUST), and the fuel pressure gauge. You car will pur like a kitten afterwardds!

Plus if you get it tuned right yourself you can take it in for a Dyno Run see what your working with and get the AF ratio for that much money!

Yeah I really dont like huge tachs either, I want one kinda small with a shiftlight, The reason why is because I feel like the Factory Tach isnt really accurate, its the POS white face gauges that I have the messed everything up.

Pain in the *** Had to remove the needles and put them back on, My volt gauge is a little off and my Speedo doesnt work quite right when the cars not warmed up.
