Default What Guages?

I planned on getting a fuel pressure gauge and a Nitrous pressure gauge. I know a lot of you guys like the wideband but i cant get one of those right now.....so what gauges do i need?

Thanks

I'm getting a dynotune square gauge(nitrous pressure) from a friend for REALLY cheap! Then i was thinking about getting the matching fuel pressure gauge but i dont know if a fuel pressure gauge is needed

Yea i know widebands are a good idea but i cant afford one right now. In the future i plan on getting one though

wideband and a scanner should have been the first priority.

I first started off with a narrowband a/f since I couldn't afford a wb right off. It was $45 on ebay. You can't really tune with the thing, but you will have a "pass/fail" indicator. Better than nothin.. but you have to put it on your "disposable" list once you start spraying more. It did keep me from running lean as I was progressing to bigger shots.
