Default Gauge Questions??

I have a 96 Impala SS. Stock dash only has a tach, fuel level, temp and speedo. I am adding a triple gauge pod. Im adding a nitrous pressure gauge, oil pressure and what else?


What is another vital gague i should have.

How about an A/F guage, since you're running nitrous?

Id ditch the nitrous gauge, and go with an oil press, fuel press, and a/f ratio. Just get a bottle heater with the thermostat to keep the bottle at the right temp <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

From my racing experience, the additional gauges that will be most useful are Oil Pressure and Oil Temp. The third it up to you, and I would probably choose the Nitrous Pressure gauge over the A/F gauge.

Generally, the A/F gauges are not accurate and don't tell you much unless they're working with a "wideband" O2 sensor.

My 2cents.
