well i got a free ampo gauge so i did not want to spend money and do much eles....but i got to thinking i will just sopend the money buy another gauge, and my problems solved.
I have an amp meter, what woul dbe the next most important gauge to buy. I am N/A and i do not have nitrious or anything like that. Vacum gauge? oil pressure? which one woul dbe most beneficial for me to know.

No gauge is that hard to install. Vacuum/boost are very easy because you're not tapping any sensors, just a vacuum line. The one that annoys me is the EGT only because you have to drill/tap your Y-Pipe. And I hate fuel pressure gauges because you have to get gasoline all over you.

Just my $0.02 but normally you wouldn't need a vacuum gauge. Vacuum and boost are important if you are running boost, but not for NA. If you want a gauge that will actully give you information about your engine I would go with an air/fuel or an oil pressure gauge. On the other hand, even if you get the air/fuel, unless you have a way to adjust your air fuel mixture the gauge can only show you where you're at and even if it's wrong you can't change it. The oil pressure gauge can be a pain in the @$$ because if you don't want an oil leek inside the car I recommend changing from the nylon POS they supply, to a copper line, which can get difficult to coax into position. If you just want looks and don't car about what is being reported, get the vacuum cause it will be the easiest. I believe I have seen how-to's on most of the gauge installs in the DIY section.
