Default guages

im lookin to get a triple pillar pod for my t-top 98 trans am. all current mods are in my sig, my future performance mods are pulleys, ls6 intake manifold, ported and polished tb and a meziere electric water pump. im not going for any "major" engine work like a cam or heads or nitrus or turbo or supercharger.

the guages im likin are

intake temp
EGT (exhaust gas temp)

people have recomended

oil pressure
trans temp
fuel pressure
water temp

i also have a post on fbc
what do u guys think?

oh yeah, and where would i go about getting these guages?

Honestly, you really don't NEED any of those at this point. Since you have a 98' your water temp gauge is actually functional. Unless you have a stall convertor (i see you have an M6) you don't really need a tranny temp gauge either.

Honestly, i'd take that money you were going to use on gauges and buy some more performance mods.

You actually dont need any gauges, its a 98 with the accurate water temp, and an M6, so no need for tranny temp. Those gauges you like provide infomation that you don't know what to do with, such as EGT and IAT.

How hard is it to wire the Air/Fuel gauge? I am thinking about this one and a tranny temp.
