Best choice for digital fuel pressure gauge?

Looking for a digital read out fuel pressure gauge. I would like one that reads up to at least 20 psi. I've looked at nordskog, cyberdyne, and dakota so far. From what I can find, dakota is the only one that makes a gauge in the range I'm looking for. Does anyone have feedback on the dakota gauge, or any other brands to suggest? Also, where is a good source these gauges?

have you looked at Cruzpro?

They mfg digital gauges that can be calibrated to several popular sending units (vdo etc)

They are popular for marine applications.

I installed a Cyberdyne for a fellow, acurate and looks good. It was an oil pressure gauge though, 0-80 psi. Price was right $37 gauge plus $25 sender from JC Whitney.

Dakota Digital all the way. These are the best gauges I have ever dealt with. I usually use AutoMeter but I decided to go with Dakota and I have never looked back. The fuel pressure gauge is not relevent to the 'pressure range'. The sender is what determines the range of pressure it will read. The sender has to be purchased seperately, it is about $30 I think. Mine is 0 to 30 psi. Nice thing is they dim when you turn your headlights on, optional wire hook up is required. Also, I suggest you purchase a painless wiring aux. fuse block (70107 for inside the cab and 70207 for outside the cab). This will keep your factory wiring safe from accidents......or user install errors.

I've got a full setup of Dakota Digital. I've got FP, boost, EGT, and tranny. I love them. I highly recommend putting a needle valve on the FP though. I ate up 2 senders. I love them. They are very fast reading and very accurate. Their customer service is top notch. While they might be a little expensive, for someone who wants a very fast reading, very accurate gauge, I highly recommend the Dakota's.
