On my Gauge pod (next to the door) ive got boost and Oil. If i were u (considering u dont have a blower or nos) id probably get fuel pressure and oil, those are the two thatd id like to watch. Id get fuel pressure if u were going to some day be spraying or have a blower, but if your going to just stick with the same old setup, i might would slap in temp there.. just a little more accurate.

just my .02

It depends on what you'd find most useful, too. A vacuum gauge is nice, especially if you have a carbed setup. Lots of guys like air/fuel meters, too. If you drive it pretty hard you might want an oil temp gauge, or a transmission temp gauge if you have an automatic.

Personally, I have an instrumentation fetish. My car has vacuum, oil temp, exhaust temp, and trans temp gauges, and I'll be adding fuel pressure and nitrous pressure next year when I start plumbing a nitrous system in.

I have a 3 gauge A pillar pod. I went with the Autometer phantom white faced series with Boost/vacuum, electronic Fuel pressure, and an air/fuel ratio. It looks awesome especially in the summer with the T tops off, and I have all white faced dash gauges to match from MacEwen Motorsports.
