Ditto..... oil temp and trans temp in the A-pillar. Fuel pressure, nitrous pressure and oil pressure in the center A/C vents. Click on "Step into my office...." below for a pic.

Tranny temp??? Who cares about tranny temp.

I would get Air/Fuel raito.......what can you do about your tranny temp anyway......all you can do is ease it up and everyone knows how hard there driving it----you can guess how hot it is how hard you run it

UH NOO. Maybe you can run a trans cooler.....I know guys that put in 2. Trans temp is what kills tranny's especially those with high stalls. At least you'll be able to know when to ease off on it. How can you know without a gauge.

Hmmmm.... lets see.... 800 ft-lb through a non-locking 5,000rpm flash stall TH400, with an external, manually switched, fan-assisted cooler. What's so stupid about monitoring the fluid temp?

Apparently you like psychedelic light shows, and the limited accuracy of the info you get from the stock, narrow-band O2 sensors.
