What do I need to read the oil pressure on a non-pp 2017 GT?

[Abletoxx]

Hello all! Hope you're staying safe! I would like to know what I need to read the oil pressure on my non-performance pack 2017 GT. I know the performance pack has gauges for oil pressure, I also want to know my oil pressure. I am looking at this kit:

Anyone know if this kit alone will read the oil pressure? Would I need any additional items? Would you recommend something else?

Thanks!

I couldn't find anything. Except this kit from american muscle. https://www.americanmuscle.com/dual-color-oil-pressure-electrical-bluewhite.html

I haven't installed it yet because I'm waiting for my whipple to come in, install it, and change the oil. While I change the oil, I want to install this.

You'll also need an oil filter sandwich adapter plate. There is an install guide on american muscle for the installation.

As a separate comment, I read that folks with force induction get rid of the oil filter 'adapter', which limits oil pressure. All I know is my car shoots up to around 100 psi momentarily upon a cold start, and immediately drops to about 35. And at hot idle, it's ridiculously low. It's hard to tell with the crappy gauge. No wonder our engines can be so noisy; the valve-train must be getting very little oil at idle. My engine is surprisingly quiet, fortunately, but we'll see if it lasts (only 1,100 miles now). Wonder why Ford did that. Folks replace that with the FP (Ford Performance) oil filter adapter, which does not have oil pressure control. You might want to look into that if you're adding a supercharger. Hope this helps.
