Default Best/Cheapest place to buy gauges?

Ive been looking around at the sponsers for a few interior items and i was wondering if any of you have found the best buy on some gauges? Im going to be installing a stall this winter so ill need a Trans Temperature Gauge. Also im going to be going FI in a little bit so i'll need a Boost gauge and A/F ratio gauge. Im wanting a Triple pillar pod with white gauges as i have white face mph/rpm gauge now. i was thinking about getting some normal gauges for now before i buy the ones i need for FI. So if someone could tell me if they found a good buy at one of the sponsers and 2 more gauges i can throw into the triple pod while i wait for FI. Thanks!

I got my autometer ultra lite trans temp from summit racing. They have a ton of autometer gauges there.

you should put the A/F ratio one in also and then get a Oil temp gauge, possibly one of the scanning gauges that fits in the pillar pod. and since yours is a trans am you can put extra gauges in the vents above the radio.

Ok, so in the tri-pillar, get the trans temp, A/F ratio, and Oil temp? Also what are the scanning ones? I was thinking of trying to hide the boost gauge. I have a good idea but not sure if it will fit. Maybe where the swing out cup holder is....lay the gauge down in the cup holder and push it in, then when you need it, pul lthe cup holder out and make something so you can pop the gauge up on an angle? Is this possible at all? Also let me know bout the scanning gauge and others

Alright, well i am thinking of going with 3 gauges that i will need to serve a purpose up in the pod and i will hide my boost gauge once i get the FI set up. So i was thinking the trans temp, A/F Ratio and what for the last one..... there is so many and its really hard to find the ones iwant...... I decided i jsut want some nice white face ones....
