Default Help me decide on a gauge...

So I have a dual pod pillar.

First gauge is definately an oil temp gauge.

The 2nd one is up in the air. I was thinking either trans temp or water temp. But I don't know. I know the stock water temp gauge is generic but I have a 160* t-stat with the fans coming on accordingly. The trans temp is a good idea but I'm not running a converter or anything.

Help me decide lol or throw in something I'm nothing thinking of.

You could go fuel pressure or air/fuel ratio.

I say trans temp gauge. Regardless of not having a stall it's good to know what's going on with your transmission since heat is it's number one enemy. Plus if you ever want to get a stall you will need one.

I'm gonna have to say water temp gauge. It's the most useless "gauge" on the car.

I say water temp gauge over the tranny temp gauge and I actually have both, but think the water temp is more important, especially since the stock gauge is useless.

Is oil temp still a good choice though?

I wouldn't get the oil temp, it's pretty useless, or should I say not nearly as useful as a trans temp (if running a stall) or water temp gauge.
