for inside cabin or under hood.
id probably prefer under hood because it makes things a little easier but throw out your reccomendations. thanks
oh yeah has to measure a max of at least 5Bars range of 3-5Bars (or in that area) would be ideal

how much are you looking to spend?
An Autometer 100psi gauge costs about $40, plus another $20-$30 for the lines to hook it up.
Keep in mind we're talking high fuel pressures here and potential fire hazards, so you don't really want to skimp on the lines and fittings.
I've got an Autometer gauge mounted to my hood, but that's probably not for everyone. I would suggest having a line long enough so you can set the gauge under the wipers when need be, and then tuck it back into the engine compartment when done.

dont really have a set budget on it but didnt want to break the bank on it...
$60 - $70 for the gauge and lines and what not actually seems a little lower than i had imagined but also sounds good.
have any pics of your install? id love to see what it looks like.

I'll have to look to dig up some older pics....
I've got an adjustable external regulator now, so it's not the stock setup anymore.
Autometer also makes an electric gauge you can mount in the interior, it only costs $200
