Default which gauges?

I was wondering what kind of gauges should i get on my a pillar? I'm planning on buying a nitrous kit so what would be two good gauges to have? Fuel pressure and A/F maybe? Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

I'd put a nitrous pressure gauge in unless your mounting your bottle on the hump right behind you and can read the gauge on the bottle (I'd still probably put one it so you don't have to look behind you).

Only if you buy a mechanical gauge. If you buy an electric one you only have to run a wire. The electric gauge is more expensive, but much easier. Dynotune makes some nice ones for reasonable prices.

I agree. An electrical nitrous pressure gauge and a fuel pressure gauge.
