I saw a fe people say Fuel Pressure but I don't nearly enough importance is ever placed on it.

I'm going Boost/Vac, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, and Fuel Pressure. I have an LM-1 too so I'll get that right from the get go and be done.

Fuel pressure can sort out problems quickly. I was talking to Ivan (Phat Ka-t) and he was telling me that if every car they tuned had a FP gauge, things would be a lot easier and a lot faster. Also, as mentioned above, it can save you from a dying fuel pump.

now is it ok to just have the F.P. gauge in the engine bay or would it be good to have in the dash as well?

i would go boost, water temp, oil pressure, and wideband o2.

my setup will be defi link bf boost, water temp, oil pressure, and the defi link display, which can monitor everything else (fuel pressure, egt, etc) and a wideband gauge of some sort.
