There's Auto Meter and Russell options that are about twice the price... I've used JEGS products in the past and haven't had an issue and I know some of you guys have the Summit brand FP gauge. I don't mind spending the money on the Auto Meter or Russell one, but this one has a black bezel, lol.

it should be. some of the ones i have got from fpr kits have been random offbrand ones and they have worked fine. at least this one is actually filled with liquid too

but whats a fuel gauge on your rail going to tell you?

you can't stick your head under the hood while you're driving going WOT

if you're using stock rail im assuming you're using stock fpr so it should stay the same base pressure right?
unless you use it to check on the dyno but that is kind of a 1 time thing

I'll mount my GoPro to the underside of the hood and monitor the gauge with the WiFi app

Its mainly for dyno purposes and to make sure there's nothing wrong with the base pressure. I'm angry with my fueling issues as of current.

one of our shop cars has been using a jegs fuel pressure gauge for about 6 years now. works just fine. make sure its liquid filled, which the one in that link looks to be. thats the only car we run a mechanical gauge on. everything else runs a pressure tranducer in the fpr via motec ecu/dash
