which gauges to buy?

okay, i got a gauge pod for my b-day (god bless my wife!). NOW, i've got to figure out which gauges would be most important for me to have. i'm definitely wanting an a/f ratio gauge for if/when i would get nitrous and just to know if i start running lean/rich. only thing is, i dunno what else i should get to monitor most. i know that a lot of people say an egt gauge is good to have (it's like $175 tho, ack!! ) now, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

btw, i also got the substrate cat from warpspeed. i'll post pics and butt dyno gains when i get that put on...

if you don't have boost or nitrous.. sell the gauge pod

If you have Nitrous - EGT and FP
If you have boost - Boost, EGT and FP

The Clock and the Voltmeter. Both should be less than $30 each.

i recently got a pod as well and have been comtemplating the same decision. from what i gather the air/fuel is more for looks than function so EGT is the way to go. the other choice would be FP so i should be ordering them pretty soon. nitrous is in my plans but ill wait til nissan paints my car first.
