Default Gauges for Nitrous Set Up....

Well I'm about to get a big paycheck and I'm gonna order everything else for my nitrous set up...Anyways I want to get a nitrous pressure gauge inside my car and while I'm at it, I think I may as well just get another two. What other two gauges would be helpful for my nitrous set up??

Fuel pressure is good to have, but I'd rather have a hood mounted mechanical guage for that.

I've seen fuel pressure gauges for nearly 250 bucks, why so expensive?

If they mount inside, they have an isolator because you can't run fuel inside the passenger compartment.

If I'm getting a fuel pressure safety switch, would the gauge be a waste of money?

kind of, but nice to able to see it too.
the fp and nitrous BOTH need isolators if inside.

i had mine on my hood on my '89, now i run a bottle guage, and rail gauge for fp.

i liked the hood setup better.

I run a Sport-comp nitrous gauge on the inside and a Sport-comp FP gauge under the hood.

Well guys, I think I'm going to go with a nitrous pressure gauge and an oil pressure gauge. Good idea?? I'm getting a fuel pressure safety switch so I don't feel like spending 250 on the gauge, but exactly how does the fuel pressure safety switch work??
