Setting up my gauges for SC...

Hey guys, I just bought a triple gauge pillar with a A/F ratio Gauge. I am going to buy a boost gauge next, if you were to buy a third gauge, what would you get? I was thinking of transmission temp, but not sure what would be best to keep an eye on. I am going to buy my SC next year sometime, but in process of building up for it. Thanks in advance.

Definately get a fuel pressure guage. It is one of the most important things to keep an eye on with forced induction.

Sorry to sound dumb, I'm still learning a LOT about cars, let alone a SC, but why is watching fuel pressure so important? So you think that a FP gauge, Boost, and a/f gauge are good ones to get? Also, I'm 95% sure that I'm going the SC'ed route, but not POSITIVE. What do you guys think of your Superchargers? Like 'em? Or would you have gone a different route? Later.

Don't have mine installed yet, but instead of making it long debate of supercharging vs. heads and cam, go with your gut, buy an ATI, run 6lbs of boost and hope for the best! Should have mine ordered on Tuesday. Do research on this site, it's a wealth of information.

I was thinking of getting an 8lb kit and THEN heads/cam if that 8lbs isn't enough, and if that still isn't enough, then get forged internals, and get some more boost, maybe 15#? I'm still new, so educate me, please.
