Default Gauge question!

Ok, I just bought a triple pod and already have 2 of my gauges that I know I will need. The third is still out there.. Which gauge do you think would be BETTER with my mods(in my sig)?? Should I buy an a/f ratio or a fuel pressure?

a/f ratio is pointless without wideband. Go with fuel pressure for sure

No its fine, they make electronic fuel pressure gauges.

Out of curiosity what are your other gauges like tranny temp and oil temp or something?

A tranny temp gauge would be important for an A4 car but not so important on a stock car. For example I'd use it on a stalled tranny with a tranny cooler or somethin.

That's why I asked. In his sig it says "TCI SF3500 stall"

Lol, ya I got a tranny cooler on my car too. I got a trans temp and a lvl2 shift light. I guess though I will be picking up a fuel pressure gauge soon though. What do you hook the sensor to?
