How many use a fuel pressure gauge?

In my nitrous considering I know that a FPSS is almost mandatory for a safe system, but what about a FP gauge? It seems like a positive convenience.
And, where does the Gauge/sensor/whatever install in my 85-z, between the fuel pump and the carb.?
What pressure range would I need? 0-15, 0-60?
Also, what other gauges are good to install with a N2O system?

For a carb'd system you would want a 0-15psi gauge as most carb vehicles run 6-10psi of fuel pressure as compared to 40-60psi for fuel injected.

what fittings would I need to put a fuel pressure guage on the rail, and still be able to hook my kit up to the rail?
