Default Need help choosing gauges for pillar...

I was going to get Air/Fuel, Fuel Pressure, & Nitrous. But I decided I am goin to build another motor for nitrous & just run this one N/A.

So what gauges would be best for me???
I was thinking maybe Oil Pressure, Water Temp., & Tranny temp. Although some have told me there is no use for a tranny temp. gauge in a M6.

Any other seasoned guys in here have suggestions. All gauges will have to be electric. I am also wanting to use the Autometer Ultra lite series.

Thankx for any information. I am tryin to order these by the end of the week.

FWIW, I went with fuel pressure and H20 temp. I don't trust the stock temp gauge as it is anyway.

Just talked to Jon & have decided to go with one of a couple set-ups.

(1) Water Temp. - Oil Pressure - Oil Temp.
(2) Water Temp. - Oil Pressure - Fuel Pressure
(3) Water Temp. - Oil Pressure - Air/Fuel(to monitor O2 sensors only)

+1 for the Aeroforce Interceptor guages. Plus it's an easy install...just plug into the OBDII port.
