Default What Gauges should I pick?

I am thinking of putting in a 2 or 3 gauge pillar mount. Look at my sig and tell me what gauges you would put in. I think an A/F is a given. Tranny temp? Any help here would really be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

In one of those slots, I would definitely put in an Aeroforce Interceptor guage. It is like 25 guages in one. Well worth the money. The other I would put a A:F guage, with a real wideband.

They monitor everything from IAC, IAT, manifold pressure, coolant temp, MPG, fuel left in tank, fuel pressure, basically it is attached to your OBDII plug under the dash and it will monitor all your PCM does!Oh and its a shift light too!
