Default gauge advice

basically looking to do 2 maybe 3 gauges on the pillar. I was thinking about getting the nitrous gauge but honestly, every time i've checked the one on my bottle out, with the bottle warmer its staying right where i want it to be. so i figure for the money its not really worth it.

i have a 98 m6 and i'm not quite sure which 2 to get first. im thinking i might just get two cause im not a big fan of the look but id like some gauges for extra insurance. u know just to take a quick glance and know whats going on with the car.

options: oil pressure, oil temp, trans temp, water temp, fuel pressure (might just go mechanical and mount it in the cowl of the double vision hood),
what do you guys suggest? which would be the most likely to help me know how the car is running?

and dont tell me a/f cause i nkow that bitch is just a pretty light show cause i had on ein a mustang before and ill never waste my money on that **** again.

thanks fellas

i will suggest getting the water temp for sure. The factory gauge is CRAP! Aftermarket is 10X more accurate.
Also Trans Temp. isnt a bad idea either.

trans temp on a m6 doesnt seem worth it.

since you spray on the motor. i would say

1 water temp gauge
2 air to fuel gauge
3 oil pressure
4 fuel pressure

air to fuel is cool cause its always moving
