I'm going to purchase an A-Pillar triple guage setup for my car. Whenever they get around to actualy making them....

My question is, which guages should i get? I thought about getting a tranny temp quage, and a coolent temp guage, since the stock guage isn't linear and well sucks. plus im going to get a electric water pump and i want to keep a good eye on temps.

but this leaves me with one open spot, and im wondering what kinda guage i should get? what things do i need to keep an eye on? i plan on one day autocrossing my car for whatever that may apply to. I thought about an oil pressure guage so it willl be more accurate, but mine isn't that bad. what is everyones recomendation?

p.s. im posting this here in the tech board because im asking what things are important to keep an eye on...

 

I went with the tranny temp and a Boost/ Vacume guage. I love the vac guage. Its nice to know how buttoned up your engine is. Shows vacume leaks and so on.

 

I was going to say that so I guess I second the vacume guage. They are very helpfull not only as a tuning aid but the more vacume you have driving the better fuel efficency.

BTW. Mkos, where did you get the guage at and how much?

 

I picked up my 2 1/16 Auto Meter Ultra -Lite Mech Boost/Vac guage from summit and it was about 40 dollars. I time my car by the vac guage. I remember reading more vacume the better and I had the best vacume with 10*

 

My vote also goes to a vacuum guage... they're awesome...

 

I voted fuel pressure. But here's another option for you to consider since you mentioned getting an electric water pump.

CSI-1225 in the Summit catalog. It's a 2 1/16" gauge that will fit into the Autometer pod, and you can program it to activate an electric pump and/or fan(s) at preset temperatures, plus it displays the coolant temp.

 

I like having an oil temp gauge in my triple pod. Nice to know exactly what the temperature of the block is.

 

i might think about a vacume guage. how accurate\useful is a air\fuel ration guage? and how expensive?
