Drive Pressure Gauge Setups

I was wondering if you guys could post pics of your drive pressure monitoring setups, or give feedback on any trouble you've had or things you would change with what you've done.

I have a JGS soot trap and an old Snapon pressure gauge. Trap mounted on firewall and gauge goes up threw the cowl and sits by where my drives side wiper arm used to mount.

This is the soot trap you want, can't remember the name right off the bat, been a long time since I installed mine. IIRC the company is in Coos Bay Oregon.

I just use a coiled copper line and a 120psi pressure gauge. I use it when making changes then blow the line out and plug the manifold. Quick and easy to hook back up when needed.

Depends on how your gonna do it, but on our tractors where there is no room to mount in the dash and there is no time to be looking at it while going down the track, I mount the gauge under the dash or hood.

I buy those little 1.5 or 2” tire gauges with the pressure check valve, take the end cap off and solder a compression fitting to the back of it. Run your copper line to it, and you have yourself $10 a peak recall boost/drive pressure gauge.
They work really well honestly, I just coil copper line for the drive pressure before the gauge. If it was a daily driver a soot trap would probably be better

I wonder if you could use a water tank to catch the soot or even a cyclone type filter.

If you are making much smoke, you will plug up any filter in time.

This is awesome.

I'm going to be running cheapo "aem" style pressure sensors for a datalogger.

I have the JGS trap but haven't brought myself to clutter up the engine bay. I'm just going to run the DP gauge with no filter for a day so I can get numbers. Its not something I need hooked up all the time as I have no gates or any of that crap to mess with. Just wanna see a some values and decide if the tune can get any hotter.

I'm not gonna be running it full time. Its a decent setup for tuning purposes. Got the info I needed. 75psi and 115psi drive. ~1100hp is where she's gonna stay.

She's a riot. I need to get better 6th gear vid for more accurate numbers. Thats all 5th gear and she's tough to hold on to on backroads. I don't drive it much anymore and no interstates around me.
