Default What Guages To Use With N/A LS1?

I have a dual guage pod, and I'm wondering what AutoMeter guages will do me the most good with my new n/a setup. I have a nice fuel PSI guage, what other one should I use?

tia,

Use the fuel to air ratio gauge. I just got that one couple of days ago.

I was thinking oil psi or water temp, but I don't want to waste money on one that really isn't going to help me out.

honestly i think the air/fuel gauge is beneficial in the fact that if it is not moving as it should it is a postive indicator for insufficient switching on your front o2 sensor banks. i know with a strong N/A motor the exhaust can overwhelm these and dead o2's are never a good thing.

Check out the speedshop.org Nitrous Digital Guages site to the right. Good Air/Fuel guage and EGT guages.

I would go with the oil temp gauge. Good indication of where your temps are all the time.

Up to temp for the springs and not too hot when really getting on it or racing it.
