Fuel Pressure Tester

Anybody know where to get a fuel pressure tester with a hose long enough to make it from under the hood up to the windshield? My car is feels like it hits a brick wall about 5200 rpm, and I'd like to be able to test the pressure under load. I've seen pressure testers with hoses long enough to route them up to wipers so you could see them in the car, but nobody around here knows where to find one. Thanks!

I used this one I found at Advance Auto. Works fine, and it just barely made it to the windshield.

Hypertech makes one that looks like it has a longer hose on it than others. Not sure if anyone has used it though. Thunder Racing sells it.

I looked at that one at Advance, but it looked way too short. I guess I'll have to give it another look.

Anybody know of one with a longer hose? If not I'm heading to Advance.

I have the Hypertech. The hose is long enough for you to tape the gauge to the outer side of the windshield.
