I would say tank pressure, fuel pressure, wideband, and maybe yet to monitor your timing.

get an interceptor, they read everything your engine computer does plus whatever other sensor you want to hook up to it. even has a build in shift like you can program to go off at designated redline or when ANY of the things it monitors goes out of paramaters it will start to flash immediately. if you want others for quick reference i understand but this one will do everything you need or could want plus some. :thumbsup:

those are really nice but holy $$$$$$
$250 for a single gauge $400 for dual then $50-200 for each sensor. crazy.

most guages are between $50-$300 for the individuals. 250 for one that does everything and more really isnt bad. if you got that one the only reason to buy any more it will just because you want to, the aero does pretty much everything. also invaluable as a diagnostic tool.

im not a huge fan of the "all in one" gauges. they do their job, but im more interested in knowing whats going on immediately, not scrolling through 5 gauge settings to find the one i want.

I wanted to get duel Aeroforce gauges for my SRT. 2 displays per gauge, it'd be the same has have 4 more gauges with the ability to read whatever you want... seemed like a good deal.

there ya go.

autometer makes 4 gauges in 1 display as well. i think they are hidious, but at least then there's no "scrolling" required.

you can set the aeroforce to auto scroll through whatever readings you think are most pertinant. i person am going to run lunar boost/vacuum and intercooler fluid temp on the A pillar and oil temp and oil pressure in a clock pod on the dash. aeroforce in a steering coloum pod with start flashing at me if any other readings are out of line. if you don't want an all in one guage then i personally would have to have: oil temp, oil pressure, boost /vacuum, intercooler fluid temp, engine coolant temp, FUEL PRESSURE!!!!!!, maybe a pyrometer for exhaust gas temp if i didn't want to spend the money on a wideband guage.

i went with a few more "important" gauges. volt meter, oil press, fuel press, boost/vac, and wideband.

i would like "others" but i cant afford them, or find space for them. I/C temp, oil temp, and EGT would all be cool, but dang. i dont want gauges on the passenger side a pillar too. LOL.

That's why I wanted the Aeroforce gauges...

pretty sure you can program the aero to scroll through whatever you want it to automatically and you can just set everything else to have a warning light so it allerts you without having to go through everything. like i said for mine, i'm just going to get an aero and a couple others for quick reference out of the corner of my eye.
