Funny you mention that...

This is the fuel filter I am getting. I want a stainless element for E85, and dont want some BS 40 micron filter. This is one of the nicest filters (with the most filtration area) I can find with a 10 micron SS filter.

They give you the option to purchase mechanical pressure gauges for the inlet and outlet. I will be doing this. No need to use up inputs for something you can just check every once in a while (I'm aware there is the small possibility for it to clog quickly in rare instances, my fuel pressure protection will protect me from damage if this happens though).

Does your ECU have the capability to set a warning for pressure drop across two pressure inputs? I could setup a math channel to monitor it and have it displayed on a race dash such as the AIM MXL (I really want the new MXL2 or color dash BTW Have you seen these?) But for now checking mechanical gauges will be sufficient. Once I see a pressure drop I can pull the filter element and clean it.

I have a bunch of these AEM sensors.

When I re-worked my harness for the new ECU I included wiring for Trans and Diff temps. I got all the sensors, however I was waiting until I needed to change fluids to install them... never got around to it. Will over the winter though.

I REALLY want to get a baseline for both because I plan on adding a cooler (or 2) but don't want to just add a cooler for the sake of adding a cooler. Need to get the data first to justify it. I suspect it will definitely be necessary for the trans though.
