Default Guages

What guages do I need or get for a n/a motor? Over time I hope to get the motor 500+ I now it will take time and money. Just don’t know what guages would be best to watch the health of the motor and tune. Thanks for advice.

Stock guages should be fine. You can run a datalogger to get more real time info, but for a n/a motor that's built right you really don't need to monitor much.

I have the same question really. I bought a two hole a-pillar and am going to install a trans temp as I'm running a 3600 stall converter but I'm not sure what to put in the other spot. I'm thinking maybe a wideband or fuel pressure but am interested in opinions.
