What 3 gauges do you have in your pillar gauge pod?

I'm getting a 3 gauge pillar pod, and i was wondering what 3 gauges do you guy's run in yours? I know i'm putting a boost gauge in, and i'm thinking about a air/fuel ratio gauge. For the 3rd one, i can't decide on what to get. What do you guy's think about either a -trans temp or voltage gauge? Which one of these would be best, or is there one that's better? Also the pillar pods are not all the same are they? A guy has one and he say's it will fit all years, but i thought the 01 and up were different than the 99-00 because of the grab bar. I figure they will fit all years, but you would have to trim it and it won't look right. I'm going to go with the Auto-meter--Lunar gauges, i think they match our dash lights pretty well. If you guys have any pics of this set-up, i'd like to see what it will look like. Thanks guy's, Larry

I have a Luner boost gauge,Electric water temp. gauge and electric fuel pressure gauge.

AF gauges are useless in my opion unless you get a true wideband.
Also I now a few guys on here have there water temp gauge wired to a switch to toggle between water temp and trans temp..

boost, electric fuel pressure, and a gadget seller modified a/f gauge with a switch to use the one gauge for both right and left bank.

I know this is a dumb question but what does -EGT & WBC stand for? So then should i go with--BOOST--FUEL/OIL PRESSURE--VOLTAGE-- Would those do the trick?

EGT- Exhaust Gas Temperature
WBC- Wide Band Commander (Dynojets Wideband Kit)

Both are very important in a forced induction car.

Wow!! Those Colbalt gauges look to nice!! Every time i think i'm set on a type of gauge, i see one that i like more. The only reason i was going to go with the Lunar gauges is, "they seem to match the stock gauges the best". I aso like the Ford Racing gauges, with F-R wrote on them. Does anyone have those, and what color are they at night?

I have Volts, Fuel Pressure, and Boost. I have the Phantom gauges but would like to switch to either the Cobalt or the Lunars... When I bought mine the Phantom's were the closest to stock.
