Fuel presure gauge

I was thinking About adding a fuel presure gauge and was wanting to know if i should? I am going to be running a Holley blue fuel pump Mikunki or dellorto carb. Also using holley FPR. Thinking of maybe adding more gauges later on. This is goint to be on a rebuilt motor.

yes, you should get one.

heres a link to the ONLY one you should get. other gauges arent accurate when running as low of PSI as you need

heres a dry break kit so you can take the gauge on and off without spilling fuel and wont have to leave it under your hood where itll be exposed to all the heat

Respeed is an amazing store and billy is awsome to deal with, so hit him up about these parts
