Gauge questions???
 
So I know questions about gauges are always being brought up so I do apologize but I was wondering what psi boost gauge I should use and what tranny temp range I should use I have just a intake and exhaust right now but bout to get my new ip pump and air dog and really as far as performance I might add a chip I'n the future so any advice is good

Boost:
0 - 30 psi for bone stock, 0 - 60 psi if you plan to push more air in the future.
Trans Temp
100 - 250 should cover you.
Doesn't hurt to have pyro (exhaust temp) gauge as well. 0 - 1600 or 0 - 1800 is a wide enough range.

Yeah I was plannin on a pyro and fuel pressure as well just wasn't sure bout those two

Fuel pressure is the most important. Low transfer pressure to the VP44 will quickly end the VP's life.

I know sadly I lost my vp bout a month ago and the trucks just been sitting but should be goin into the shop on the 15th :tu:

i' suggest if you can get the 0-60 psi boost gauge.i got a 0-35 and with my current set up i almost wrap the needle around to the stop hitting more than 45psi.the problem is i got Autometer Luna series,they discontinued making & now can't get the 0-60 or 0-100.i only plan on adding more power so i'll need the bigger one but don't want to change all to match.
