Electric. Mechanicals (Fuel Pressure at least) "can't" be mounted in the vehicle cabin. Plus, believe it or not, the electric gauges are more accurate.

the elctrical hook up for electric Fuel Pressure and N2O gauges are easy. All you need is ground, power, and the signal wire from the senders from each unit. I use electric FP gauge cause i didnt want a fuel line in the car. You can get an isolator that allows you to mount a Mechanical FP gauge in the car, but the electric one IMHO is easier to hook up. I used Electric N2O gauges in my old car cause i didnt want to have to run a small line to the dash for the mechanical gauge. Also if that line broke, you got a butt load of presure of Nitrous releasing somewhere in the car.
