I'd say it depends on what mods you have. For example; if you're stalled in an auto, a trans temp gauge wouldn't hurt.

i have trans temp, nitrous press and d-pic gauges....my advice DONT buy the d-pic.... its the gauge that measures 0-60 and 1/4 mile times like u was talking about getting. its about worthless. im gonna get rid of it and get something else probly a wideband. trans temp is a good gauge if your auto... and the nitrous pressure is a must if you have nitrous.

Overall I wish I really like the LED gauges, I wish they mad white faced ones because they look so much more crisp and I love the polished ring, but I've seen the Phantoms, my buddy has them in his Cobra and they look really good too. Haven't put power to the Phantoms yet because I have no battery in the car yet due to the swap...SOOON though!
