Where is the best place to put the pyro thermocouple(preturbo) and the fuel pressure?

boost would be to pull the spyder pipe off the heads and drill and tap and put your boost there, or you can cut the hose coming from that to the map sensor which is on the passenger side and put a T there and put the boost hose there, but fuel i have no clue, and hes right for the pyro

I have a manual liquid filled gauge in the port with the schrader valve, but I didn't know if there was another spot I should be monitoring also. Is there any particular cylinder I should use, on my dodge, they said number five got the hottest. Thanks

either side in the back of the manifold will work fine. you can hook a fuel pressure sender where the schreader valve is. the boost you can T off of the MAP sensor and the tranny has a port of the side of it.
