Thumper you crack me up with your EFI hate  . Seriously, I don't hate EFI I hate the "Just go to EFI" because you can't make a carb work or are too cheap to have a GOOD one built that WILL perform as good or better than EFI...........As we all know I'm NOT a fan of the new generation cars no matter what brand but so what, that's what makes this crazy world go around and I'm not dogging on new stuff cos let's face it, the new stuff flys................I love "lope" and overlap combined w/the smell of gasoline.............  I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Robert Duvall. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tkxWudy8SfE

I just have a cheap little $20 gauge on my dual feed fuel line and it works great. When I had a cheap fuel pressure regulator it showed weird numbers and never stayed set correctly but when I switched to a good Holley regulator the gauge is always right at 6 pounds and shows adjustment just by barely turning the regulator adjuster. Aeromotive has a gauge with a pressure equalization pin that you can pull when it has become hot with the motor, it is liquid-filled but with the pin it seems like a pretty slick unit.

You probably don't need a full time gauge in the car since fuel pressure usually works once you get it sorted out. So perhaps you can get by with a good gauge under the hood. If you need to see what it is doing while you are driving or on the chassis dyno then hook up a gopro or use your phone to video the gauge. Thanks for input, this is the most likely way I'll go.
