So sometime in a couple months the dual pod a-pillar gauge holder will be going on, one spots gets the boost gauge, what else should I get?

I already have a trans temp in the shifter pod area (and volts, and oil)


Suggestions?

I've got an Aeroforce Interceptor and love it; that would be my recommendation.

Fuel Pressure, It's aways nice to know if the pressure is up, Machincal not electrical

Yup, Low fuel pressure = lean conditions, and SC'd cars + lean = BOOM!

I have water temperature and oil pressure in my MM gauge pod.

My Lo-Tek triple pod will house boost, wideband A/F, and fuel pressure.

fuel pressure or, go with wideband o2 and air/fuel gauge?

Does a wideband 02 sensor work with the aftermarket tunes in an MM?

I have dual aeroforce also yes very good guages. But also have and a must as far as Iam concerned is a stand alone wideband A/F it tells you better then anything if things are leaning out. Fuel pressure yes U gotta have good F-Pressure but what if something causing it not to burn or make it all into the cylinder.

It should. I have a Blue Oval Chips tune right now and plan on running the wideband. Once the powertrain is in, all the gauges will be hooked up and it'll be headed to Dez Racing for a dyno tune.

Nice choices, but I would customize the underdash pod to include a third
gauge which would be oil pressure Machincal of course. JMHO

I was always told to avoid mechanical gauges inside the cabin, right?

The only mechanical gauge I purchased was the boost gauge

I thought that also but Auto Meter has good reputation for installation instructions
My Impala SS has a Mechanical Fuel and Oil pressure gauges in the car for more that
15 years and not drop has entered the interior. I have a three gauge A piller Pod.
Our safety is of the most importance here. I am very careful how the lines run.
Good luck with your projects.

Thanks Mercguy, that information is good to know (plus mechanical gauges are nice and cheap!)
