What is the function of a hood mounted fuel pressure gauge?

[Darkside]

Anyone? Does it help tuning when taking WOT blasts?

well you can see if your fuel system is giving you the right amount of fuel pressure compared to your boost level.

You answered your own question. Just because you have 42 psi at adle does not mean you will have 70 at WOT. That is if you are having lean out problems.

i really did mine mainly for looks...but i love the added benefit of being able to always see your fuel pressure...i hated the days when i had to always open the hood and look at my rail-mounted gauge...
