i would say just fuel and nitrous pressure. and dont buy one of those a/f ratio gauges, its just an expensive light show.

but light shows are pretty and they will impress the ricer crowd

i second the fuel pressure and nitrous pressure gauges - the narrowband a/f gauges pretty much show what your a/f ratio WAS not what it IS...they just can't keep up accurately enough to be relied upon

Here is what I am going with, LC-1 Wideband, and DynoTune Digital N2O Pressure gauges on a pod.



They are not wired up yet .


The breaks are beginning to delay my progress EVEN more...

I agree>

Don't confuse the narrow band light show (that uses your existing 02 sensors) with a wideband AFR (air fuel ratio) A good wideband is not cheap but an FJO wideband can shut the nitrous system down if it gets too rich or too lean. Just one time will pay for the wide band several times over.

When i do get my kit, i will be getting: Fuel Pressure, Nitrous Pressure, & AEM Wideband A/F Gauge. Debating whether to get a triple gauge pod, or get a dual and put the AEM Wideband in the center air vent of my T/A.
