putting nitrous in the mach next weekend and aside from a nitrous pressure gauge what other gauges are good? i was thinking fuel pressure would be something good to monitor while spraying the car. whats everyone else using out there?

I have a similar question but was wondering if there are any good gauges I should run in a Non Sprayed mach. I basically want to add some gauges because i think they look sweet but would like to add some practical gauges. Maybe an air/fuel ratio gauge and oil pressure gauge? Anything else practical to run in a lightly modded mach 1?

I run a Scanguage 2 on the steering column... Displays fuel pressure, voltage, temperature, and timing. I also have an Innovate A/F in the glovebox for running nitrous or adjusting the tune

How accurate is the scan gauge 2? I'm looking at them right now on amazon and they're pretty cheap. Also install doesn't look hard, seems like you just plug it into your obd port and mount it?

Its accurate, the refresh rate is pretty good too. 5 minute install:

And at night... You can change the colors

Plus you can clear codes and look up all sorts of other stuff like TPS voltage, intake air temp, etc.

I was reading that the scan gauge 2 has the option to monitor fuel pressure, but it says that not all cars are compatible with this option. Do the Mach's have this option to allow the scan gauge to monitor the fuel pressure?

don't know if it will read it but the car does have a electric fuel pressure sensor.
