Default fuel pressure guage

what should i see for fuel pressure as a max?

im getting a guage and can pick from a
0-30
or 0-100

may *** well go with the 100 so i have plenty of guage left right?
or will i be good with a 0-30

I don't think 30 will be enough. From what I've heard, it's common to hit mid 30 psi at WOT. I'm about to put mine in (0-100) so I can't say for sure.

Yup kinda over kill but the ppump can see up to that and more plus if you get an AirDog or fass they come preset to 40psi

Make sure you also run a snubber between the port and the gauge or you will shake the gauge apart in short order. Most guys are using a 1/4" brass valve (1/8" NP thread) just barely cracked open. That smooths out the pulses from the pump so you can read the true pressure.

There is a 0-60 fuel press guage from isspro, That is what I use and only see a solid 30 psi out of my air dogg 150.
