A/f
I've got me a nitrous kit and i'm just in the process of picking up the pieces needed to get it ready to go. Gauges are one thing i'm looking into but i'm curious about the A/F gauge.
At first i was gunna pic up an autometer A/F gauge...but i've had several people tell me not to even bother. They all said that it wont tell me anything important since its so inaccurate.
Now i'll be hooking the nitrous up...they tell me that it'll tell me a reading at idle, but if i really give'er and spray....even if my reading went extremely rich/lean...it wouldnt showup...so basically its a waste of $100 bucks.
So i was considering buying a mechanical fuel pressure gauge instead...let me know what you think. Should i be ok without an A/F gauge??

A Fuel Pressure gauge won't really do much for you. Heck, I'd rather have an Oil Temp Gauge than anything else.
