Amazon/eBay pressure transducers vs Quality transducers

Hey guys like the title says lets get a discussion going about pressure transducers! What do y'all use? What has been good and terrible? Lets get it out there

So when I first fired my car up with it's new driveline I was running some $12 amazon pressure transducers for fuel, dome, transmission, oil pressure. At first glance they seemed alright but after a few short hours of run time they started reading either way high or scary low. I've got quite the amount into this setup and really want something that's reliable but also not looking to break the bank just for sensors. So again what are y'all running and had good success with??

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or over on LS1tech, it seems like this forum is more the stock modified or full on drag car. Bring all your opinions all of them!!

AEM 30-4401 AEM Classic Digital Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit (aemelectronics.com)

I have this but still need to install it. Do you know where I can get the adapter to mount the transducer onto the fuel rail?

The least expensive Pressure-Transducers that I have found to be reliable are from "Low Dollar Motorsports".

Awesome thanks guys! I'll give them all a look. There's just no way in hell I could bring myself to pay the absurd prices Holley wants for those sensors. It's insanity

Low dollar for the win!! Just ordered sensors for oil, fuel, dome and transmission pressure. Seems a lot of people are having great success with them
