Default Gauges?

Ok i already have a Boost/Fuel setup on my A pillar but I have a question. I have a 3 gauge pod for my center console which is kinda hidden. Now I am a paranoid guy with my blown gt.... always feel like its running hot, sliggish... what not. None of the gauges indicate a problem but it just take a while to cool off and I can really feel the heat given off by the motor. What 3 guages should I put in there that would be Ideal for my racer? I run at the track and autocross.

I was thinking Oil Pressure, Trans Temp, and Water Temp

Trans temp is a waste unless you have an automatic. You allready got the most important gauge and that is you fuel pressure. Oil pressure is a must for any high horsepower car. I would also go with a water temp and oil temp gauge. GOOD CHEAP INSURANCE!

This is just what I would do, you don't have to listen to me. BTW: If the triple gauge panel is 2 1/16" then you can't get a tranny temp. Gauge, but the other 3 you can.

Very true. I know alot of people think alot of gauges is tacky but I think on higher HP cars... you need them. After I intercool my vortech in the fall.. i'll be planting close to 430 so I'll need to know any changes. I was tempted on doing a 2 mechanical gauge pod on the outside.... I love how those look
