Default What are important pillar gauges to get for H/C car???

See sig and tell me what gauges (up to three) would be the MOST important for my car.
I'm thinkin':
A/F
Water temp
Tranny temp

Thanks!

From what I've heard, A/F is a waste, just a light show.

I'm going to run Water/tranny temp (a toggle switch between them) and Fuel pressure (I'll be running nitrous) if not it would be oil pressure.

I would have to suggest the fuel pressure gauge also. For a second I'd say water temp, since the stock water temp gauges are so inaccurate. But it looks like you may go with N20, go with a N20 pressure gauge as a 2nd.

My tranny shop told me that a gauge was not worth it on my TH400 because it fluctuates so much very quickly. I would like one. Do you agree or not.

The N20 gauge will be in the bottom of the cupholder.
Fuel pressure
Tranny temp
Water temp
Sounds good

Yea I will agree that the A/F is not a waste, I currently have the AFR gauge and FP gauge, I do plan on spraying sooner or later... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
