2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Gauges?

[brodge]

I'm shopping for guages for my 95 and wanted to ask which boost gauge is the best to pick. I'm not so worried about brand right now but PSI level? 30, 35, 60, 100? Which should I go with?

depends on how juicy you plan on making the truck 30# is good for stock to mild, i can peg my 30# gauge at 2700-2800 rpm in the higher gears, i dyno'd 248hp with a bad lift pump a year is so ago i have since gone to a straight exhaust and moved the cam plate full forward, i figure i am maybe 275-300hp, 50# should cover most truck mods, significantly more then that and you are getting into big time mods

whats the difference in Vacuum, boost, and vacuum/boost guages?

a vaccum/boost guage is for gasssers running a turbo you dont need that. I'd go with a 60# guage it will work with a stock truck and leaves room for modifications later.
