gauges are always good to have. What kind are you getting? autometers are the best, but are pricey!

as much as i hate autozone....get a 5" moster tach by autoguage. it is built by autometer and like half the price. it is only 118.99. it is really smooth and it comes with a shift light....it is VERY accurate!

i made my own gauge pod out of my center vent, i used the tach and oil press and water temp blue indigo glow gauges from auto zone. look pretty cool at night.

I would buy performance parts. Gauges can come later. Buy a t-body, underdrives, cold air intake, feul pump (for the nos) h-pipe. Any of these will work.
