Question Best gauges to install??

I am looking to install the 3-gauge pod.
Thinking about using Boost gauge, A/F gauge, and water temp.
Not sure if I should substitute any those for exhuast gas temp, intake temp, trans temp, fuel pressure.....the list is endless..

I suppose I could just mount all of them across the dash in a nice ricer-fashion

I have the boost, A/F, and volts. If it was up to me again I would have put in a fuel pressure gauge instead of the A/F gauge because the A/F is just a nice light show.

The reason the A/F gauge is not accurate is because the PCM is changing the fuel mixture constantly and you never get a hard lined reading. It just moves back and forth. Now, don't get me wrong....it works!!!! When you let off the gas after hard acceleration the A/F gauge goes totally lean because of the gas not being applied, and when you hit the gas the gauge responds.

It is just a hard install for a light show in my opinion!!!
