Just get an Autometer electric FP gauge, tap the sensor into the fuel filter housing lid. Mechanical FP gauges suck, they always break, its worth your time and dollar for a good electric gauge.

I don't know a whole about the juice, but I wouldn't think its too much for the stock fuel system to handle.

I'll second the electrical gauge. Here are a few pics of what I did. It was a breeze to install as well.

This view shows the filter lid replacement from Geno's with the sender installed on the end of a 6" piece of rubber fuel line for dampening the vibration.


This view shows the gauge in the pod. I wired the gauge to the battery for power and to the back of the dimmer for the backlight and voila, done.

Or you could do what I did and get a Commander with the FP kit. Of course I don't have mine yet! Go Quad Go!!

That's what I did! I have the fuel pressure kit right here, but no Commander yet!
