if u really like the air fuel go for it, but if ya want something that will give u reliable info on that subject dont go with an air fuel, it is just a fancy light show, might want to try a exhaust temp guage, get a base line with that and if it goes higher than the base line u might have a problem..just my .2, anyone else with an opinion on it.

but the boost is an good choice..

Yep, EGT's are a good way to keep an eye on how your engine is doing, just be sure to mount them way up in the headers so you don't get a false reading.

Later,

the re-calibrated a/f gauge at the bottom of this link, works much better than the off the shelf version. the dancing is kept to a minimum and works "ok" to warn you if you start running lean at wot
