For temporary I say it's probably a good thing to have. For permanent there's better ways.

If you know the orifice size and the inlet pressure, I thought it was pretty easy to calculate the flow.

I could be wrong, only played with N20 a couple times and they were small cheater kits.

I'm sure it will work fine. Not a bad price. The one I have is like 200.00. Mine has like 2 feet or so of line on each end. So I con ector one end to a port on the regular and put the other end in the fill hoke of the fuel tank. No mess lol.

Yeah I'm sure they all work fine. The large guage is cool because you can see the small difference in presure change while adjusting. Get that fuel presure dead on !!!!

Exactly, especially when you are trying to tune half or quarter pounds at a time.
