good inexpensive guages? I was considering buying all autometer gauges for my firehawk, but when I totaled 6 guages I was looking at around $800... I have used autometer in the past and they are decent, but am looking at more inexpensive options.
I will be running three 2 5/8 guages in the center vents and 3 smaller ones in a gauge pillar.
What would be the best and accurate wideband a/f gauge and boost gauge for the money?
For my oil pressure, coolant temp, transmission line pressure, and trans temp, the accuracy isnt as important so I could go with more inexpensive guage. What are my options? Thanks guys!

Glowshift gauges. Inexpensive. Several different options. They are hit or miss tho in my experience. Bought a used Fuel psi glowshift gauge several years back and hasn't missed a beat. Bought oil psi and oil temp glowshift New and senders quit working few months later. Replacing all with Autometer now.
Like you said, at least spring for high end gauges for the boost and wideband.

What sort of setup do you have? If you are a turbo setup definitely consider getting a WB, Boost or Boost controller, Fuel pressure. If you're NA don't fake it with a boost gauge. As for the other things you could use an aeroforce gauge to read 2 items such trans temp, kr, coolant temp, etc.
