Triple...I have A/F, Fuel Pressure, and Tach/Shift Light.

Edit: There is also a triple gauge pod made for our cars...fits over the pillar for a clean install.

Then you are wasting money and time. I had a narrowband a/f n my Mustang and the light jumped from one side to the other ~3 times a second just cruising. It gets annoying as hell.

For my A/F ratio gauge, I ran the wire through the firewall grommet, along to the PCM and used a quick splice into the O2 Sensor purple wire. I forgot which pin it is, search "PCM schematic." I then found out I have O2 Sims.. so.. yeah lol.

depends on what the needs are for your car.... if you only want gauges for appearance reasons i think the 2 pod piller looks best.

I currently have 2 installed with three more in progress. I'm running a 5" monster tach on the dash & Aeroforce Interceptor in the center air vent. On my pillar will be nitrous pressure, Fuel pressure & PLX wideband.

And yes, the stock tach is far enough off to warrant a aftermarket tach before anyone says anything negative. I have noticed even in 6th gear with cruise set the stock tach is off 300 RPM & in first while goin WOT its over 1k RPM slow. Thats a problem when racing & tryin to shift as close to the limiter as possible without bouncing it.
