Default Re: Is oil pressure gauge really needed?

In my unmodified engine, I run no oil gauge but in my touring engine which is fitted with a high volume, high pressure oil pump which delivers oil under pressure to the centre main bearing, I consider it essential. I have made my own pressure relief valve to keep the feed to 25 psi.
Can't see that a gauge is warranted on a stock engine but useful in a modified one.
