Default Gauge pod and gauges

I just recently installed the NOS 5177 setup on my 1998 Trans Am. I would like to know everyones input on what gauges to install. I was thinking Air/Fuel ratio gauge, Fuel pressure, and not sure about a third or just keep it to two. Anybody who has installed any gauges lets hear your experiences or opinions....thanks

bottle pressure, and fuel pressure.

and since its a 98, i would add an oil pressure too.

You have a working water, so no real reason to add a second one.

nice car by the way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Did 98's have inaccurate oil pressure gauges?? I'd never heard that before.. Or did you mention that because so many factory oil pumps from 98 don't seem to hold up all that well? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

the questionalbe oil pump,

If i was spraying, i would want to know temp, bottle pressure, fuel pressure, and oil pressure.

The factory temp at least works.

I would definitly have a A/F gauge and a fuel with that setup. It is crucial to no what your running with N20.
