3 gauge question...fuel pres or tranny temp?

[derck_mullin]

Guys,

Getting ready to do some mods and want a chip. Question about the gauges tho...

Pyro and boost for sure. But for the 3rd would tranny temp or fuel pressure gauge make more sense? Seems like the fuel pressure is more important than tranny temp. Yes I know the factory tranny temp gauge isn't accurate but at least it's there and for all of the boosted vehicles I've owned up to now a FP gauge is a must have. Fuel tank mod and crossover are the next planned mods with the gauges and the chip.

I don't tow so seems like this makes more sense...whatchya'll think?

Thanks!

Both are useful, but the way I see it is which is more likely to hurt the wallet when something goes wrong. With a fuel pressure gauge, you can more easily diagnose issues that effect mileage and performance. With the trans temp gauge, you can see if your about to spend $2000-4000 for a new trans.

If its a auto then I would put a tranny gauge on there its more important at your miles and the power you are currently making jmo

if you say you dont tow than why not i think its a good idea
but then again i have a trany gauge & i have a six speed

you dont need a fuel pressure gauge on a 7.3.. if anything you need an oil pressure gauge. without oil pressure your truck will not run.
