Has anyone run a Fuel Pressure Gauge in their dash with an isolator? I'd like to try one, but I was curious to see if anyone else has gotten one to work yet. Such as Mallory 29806 0-80psi. I guess the other question is, is it worth it to spend $120 on an isolator + gauge for something that may not be that important?

I personally dont feel the need to monitor the fuel pressure at all times. You running a turbo or something? If not then just check it at the shrader valve at times and then call it good.
If it feels right, then STROKE it!

x2 Money better spent else where like a wide band or oil temp gauge.

Wideband is on the to do list. $200 for Innovate Motorsports Digital MTX Wideband Gauge at Jegs/Summit. Does it work with the stock ECU Silver?

+3 on the wideband
having had both the innovative and AEM units, i would go with the AEM over again. AEM unit is self calibrating where as the innovative has to be manually re-calibrated. PIA imo. also ebay sells new AEM's for $170 shipped.

Re: Fuel Pressure Gauge/Isolator
A wideband sensor has nothing to do with the PCM nor the stock narrow band O2 sensor. You will get a new wideband sensor and a control unit. You need to have a new bung welded in the exhaust. I recommend a unit with external inputs and data logging. That way you can floor it and concentrate on driving then go back and look at the log.

Re: Fuel Pressure Gauge/Isolator
I ask about working with the ECU because both of my O2 sensors were forcibly removed at some point wheelin. I've yet to replace them. I have a plug in the head pipe and plain straight pipe for now, until I get a flat bottom skid route the exhaust properly.
