Well i was up last night and decided its time to buy some gauges. So im looking at the electric A/F gauge, and i want another one. and thats what i am stuck on. should i get an EGT gauge so i can play with the s-afc and butt tune. or should i go a little more conventional and get a temp. or oil pressure gauge? opinions are welcome.

By the way does anyone have pic of their pods. i was looking at autometers. i would preferably like to see pics of that pod. its fugly so i will have to primer/paint it or something to color match the interior. but its only $25 :) cant beat that with a stick. by the way anyone selling a titan pod ? ok thanks homies. lol jk

I don't see any point getting a A/F and EGT gauge. The A/F gauge will just be "eye candy" as it will never be as acurate as a proper one (expensive) used by dyno tuners. EGT gauge is only useful on turbo cars producing some meaningful boost. Its main advantage is reading temps in the range of 600-900 degrees which a Lambada sensor is only acurate upto 600 degrees as used on a dyno.

Useful ones I'd consider are oil temp, oil pressure and water temp. Fuel pressure as well if planning for FI later on.

No one has mentioned Voltmeter - just thought i would throw that out there.
