Default What gauges should I get?

So I'm thinking of maybe getting a triple guage speed-of-sound pod and I'd like some suggestions on what guages I should get.

I know for sure I want the AeroForce interceptor dual guage as it measures a ton of crap.

I was thinking maybe my second guage should be a wideband a/f guage...but since I'm not running FI of any kind, do I really NEED that? I may go FI at some point but I'm not completely sure.

So other than the AeroForce interceptor, what should my other two choices be? Or would I be better off with a dual pod instead of triple since I'm N/A?

On last thing. This may be stupid, but will the shift light option on these pods actually DO anything on my auto? I was thinking that later if I get a ratchet shifter it would be cool to have a shift light, but I'm not sure if one would even work on my auto. I'm guessing the computer determines when to illumnate it and since I have an auto computer it wouldn't know about a shift light.

at this stage, i would just put an interceptor
either between the vents or in a vent adapter

save the pillar pod for when you go FI

Alright so lets just say I was interested in the oil pressure and water temp gauges. How easy/hard are they to install? Any installation docs around for 05+ stangs?

Ok nevermind all that stuff above.

I just bought the dual set of AeroForce interceptors! These things are so freaking cool I had to get two! Bahaha! I ordered them from AeroForce directly so I could get the color combo I wanted.

I also bought the sos dual pillar pod from lethal.

Now this with my xcal2 from brenspeed I also bought today...man I'm freaking excited! [sm=bounceybounce.gif] Yipppiiieeee!

I decided on Nexus mounted in an SOS triple center dash pod. $1600 so I could change the freak'n color (but they are fun to play with ).
