If you run mechanical gauges (as you should) then you can just put Hobbes pressure switches in parallel on the oil and fuel pressure lines to make your own warning lights. or even ignition cutout protection circuit (with relays). I used to put Hobbes switches on the fuel line when installing nitrous on other people's cars, so if the fuel pressure drops, the nitrous solenoids would be disabled until fuel pressure retured to acceptable levels. That saved more than one motor by letting the owner know he needed a larger fuel pump before he leaned out and burned it up.
