Gauge recommendations Im redoing my 98 z28 (A4) with a forged 346 possible a forged 383 with 11.1 compression and down the road probably do a direct port nitrous system. My goals for the car are low 11s high 10s on the motor and low 10s high 9s on the bottle. My question is what gauges should I look at getting? What ones do I need? A/F I always heard was just for show? N20 pressure? Trans Temp? Water Temp? Vacuum? Fuel pressure? Voltage? Which ones will I need? Im probably gonna do a triple gauge pod pillar and then fiberglass any additional gauges I need into the A/C vents above the stereo, so mounting them wont be a problem. Any help from you guys cracking 10s and 9s would greatly be appreciated. Cars gonna be driven on the street regularly but probably wont be a daily driver.

Those are a must. I would also add tranny temp and oil pressure if you have room. Well those are the 5 gauges I am going to be running anyway.
