I was thinking fuel pressure reg. and AF ratio gauges. But, I've heard some say the AF ratio is worthless. I can have 2, which ones??
Thanks

Boost and Nitrous Pressure guages would be pretty nice!

Since you have a 6-spd i would say fuel pressure, and oil temp, or fuel pressure and nitrous pressure, it depends what your plans are.

Yeah, depends on your plans. Can't go wrong with fuel pressure NA, N20, or FI. For the other and NA, oil or water temp, maybe an EGT instead of crappy A/F, would be more accurate.

I think extra gages are useless unless you need them for your setup. Why not look at getting something like a scanmaster. If you have your heart set on gages then I would get a fuel pressure gage (180.00). That is probably all that is needed until you either decide to go nitrous, supercharger or turbo.

Fuel Pressure definitely. I've heard the A/F gauge is worthless though. Not too sure how helpful the Oil Temp would be though if your coolant temp guage in the dash works. EGT woud be helpful with nitrous.

I'm in the same boat. I want to get a full pillar pod (the integrated, not the single or dual that you have to screw into the pillar) but they only make dual and I need to try to figure something else out to stick in there.

A/F is pointless considering the inconsistencies of the O2 sensors on our cars...waste of money IMO...

Trans temp, oil temp...

Judging from your mods I would just replace the dummy gauges on the dash...but you might just want the look so whatever glows in the dark
