    Gauges?

    I've got a 3-gauge pillar pod from Billy that I'd like to get in soon and just want to start exploring my options. My preference right now is something digital.

    What 3 gauges should I get? I definitely want transmission temperature and air/fuel ratio. What should my last one be? Fuel pressure?

    With the 3 gauges I get, what am I going to need as far as sending units, wideband, etc. and is Summit the best place to get them (Billy - not sure if you can get deals on gauges?).

    Should I consider an Aeroforce or similar gauge?

    Are there any brands NOT recommended? I like the Nordskog, AEM is nice but pricey, not sure about Cyberdyne, don't care for the Dakota's, there are some decent Auto Meters I liked....

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Were you leaning towards getting an interceptor or do you already have one?

    I'd go interceptor(trans temp, knock), wideband and fuel pressure. Take your pick when it comes to brands. I have all Autometer Phantom II's with a PLX wideband otw. Widebands: AEM, PLX, Innovation.....It's basically personal preference. Usually a sensor comes with the wideband but check the one you buy to make sure.

    Moze, the only deals I have on gauges is the AEM wide band.
    I do still have a electric fuel pressure gauge though.

    Thumbs up

    REAL oil pressure is the most important.

    I have boost, oil press, fuel press on the pillar. Coolant temp and oil temp overhead.
