Default What gauges do you run?

Ok, So I'm going to make my own dash panel. I need to know/want to know what gauges you guys are running. I wont be running every gauge right now, but will be later on.

So far

Tach
Speedo
Fuel level
Battery
oil pressure
water temp
boost
a/f

Anything I'm missing? I'm not sure on where abouts I'm going to mount all the gauges... I have a donar dash that I'm hacking apart. While I'm N/A I will run all the gauges in the cluster, then once I'm boosted I'll move my oil pressure, water temp, and one other onto my dash itself.

I have the same set, only added trans temp, oil temp and considering to ditch the a/f gauge for a fuel press gauge if only the full sweep fuel press wasn't so damm expensive....
I think you should be fine with those.

Pretty hard to beat Classic Instruments gauges. They are not the least expensive gauges out there, but in my opinion, are the best.

I'm having my stock 1935 Ford instruments cosmetically restored and converted to electronic movements that are compatable with my PCM outputs. Redline in Santa Clarita, Ca is doing the work.

Have you looked at the new AEM A/F ratio gauge? Very accurate, best on the market from what I'm reading. Several dyno pulls have showed the A/F gauge reading exactly what the dyno is. $460US ish.
