I'd rather have an oil pressure guage, than anything else. It kinda bothers me that the car has nothing but a light that's either on or off. It's nice to watch the pressure rise when you first start the car, and glance at it once in a while when driving.

It would depend on if you were going to tune. I would probably get oil pressure, pyrometer and I don't know what else. I would most likely not get an A/F gauge because they are going to be narrow band which is not going to be good enough for tuning (just for fine tuning). As stated above oil pressure would be my first gauge.

ha ha ha...you tap it into your manifold to see what your cylinder temps are...you only really need this if your tuning your car with say a SAFC or anything beyond a bolt-on part that you are tuning your car for more performance. I would say coolant, oil pressure, and fuel pressure. When a FPR comes out this will be a big help.
