Which gauges?

I bought a Lo-tek triple gauge, mostly because I got it for a good price, but also I like how they look. I know far more about "show" than "go" So, now, I need to know which gauges I should get. I have a Superchips flip chip, 4/6# interchangeable pully, Air Force 1 filter, and boost by pass. I would like to know which name brand and which type please. Thanks.

You need fuel pressure, nitrous presure and maybe another of your choice. If you don't have nitrous get some to go with the gauge.

On a chipped-and-pullied engine, boost, fuel pressure, and a Gadgetseller modified A/F ratio would get my vote.

I don't think I will ever do nitrous. So, any other suggestions? Thanks again.

The A/F gauge from Auotmeter is a worthless gauge, cept maybe at WOT....But it sure is cool!!!!! Chicks dig it!!

Oh I have one btw

I have Boost, Tranny, A/F..Autometer Lunar. Hella Cool. If you get the Tranny Gauge and want it to work right..You need to drill the pan..Otherwise you can screw it into that brass fitting up in there..Check SPANKDOG gallery for the pic on where it is.
It will work in that fitting..it just takes forever to get it to come up to temp.
Just my .02 no links from me..heh heh heh

A/F gauge is not very accurate unless you get a wide band O2 sensor...which can be as much as 2 grand.

Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) would be more useful. Connect it so your sensing the temp at the #5 cylinder.
And I also like the tranny temp gauge...
