I have a vaccuum reference regulator, so I can also verify at a glance the regulator is responding to different vaccuum conditions. If my data logger starts telling me we are having lean conditions, I can monitor the pressure to verify the lean requires a map change vs the pump getting weak (keeps me from screwing up a perfectly good fuel map to cover for a pump growing weak). That sort of stuff.
littlewave,

In answer to your question below ,If you use it as above a great tool.

....and yes great to check at a quick glance as fuel pressure is an important function with EFI .....
