Autometer Water Temp Sensor - Help

I'm planning on adding a Autometer Water temp guage. If I replace the "stock" sensor, with the one for the new guage, will I need to modify the computer at all? so that it will now hot hot the engine is.. the factory guage is not accurate enough for me. I'm also thinking of adding the air/fuel ratio guage.

The computer uses the sensor mounted on top of the intake next to the thermostat housing. The gauge uses the sender in the driver side head, so they work independantly from each other. Of course, your stock temp gauge will stop working.

Oh, I thought the one beside the thermostat was the guage one too.. I didn't know there was another one.. Thanks.. It doesn't matter if the factory guage stops working, it's not that great anyways. Thanks for the info.
