Default Need help on picking gauges....

Just purchased a 5" monster tach Black face....like this



Also just got a dual gauge piller with one lunar A/F ratio gauge. What should be my last gauge. I wanted a fuel pressure gauge but no luck finding one under 200 dollars.

I was looking online and saw this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/UNIVE...62035411QQrdZ1

Would this be of any use for me?? Most all the gauges are something I already have in the stock speedo so no reason to have 2 of one

ANy suggestions on what I should get to complete my set?

Thanks!

THanks man. Hahah

I was actually thinking about a Trans Temp. I have a 6 speed though so i don't know if it would do me THAT much good.

i would at least get a tach, i know it sounds retarded cause you have one already, but believe it or not, stock LT1 tachs are about 200rpms fast. but make sure you hook the green wire straight to the computer. Its the A13 terminal i believe, (the red connector, the only solid white wire), some people put it on the coil and it reads exactly the same as the stock one.

Thanks for that info. I will do that. I actually have a 5" autometer monster tach (black face coming)

Here is an update on my gauge situation.

5" Autometer Monster Tach
Dual Guage Pod with lunar a/f ratio 2 1/16
Oil Temp (will go in the vents) 2 5/8
Water Temp (go in vent as well) 2 5/8

So i'm just neediung one more 2 1/16 th gauge to go in the pod and that will about do it!

Any more suggestions?
