Skip the oil/water and get a wideband A/F and fuel pressure.
Autometer or SW gauges, AEM wideband

Congratulations and welcome to the Xmen!

And agreed, the most important gauge to get is the wideband AFR. I have the AEM and no problems with it.

I just answered your question about my pulley in the other thread. If you're going to be running 2.8", I could cut you a good deal on the 2.8" red anodized pulley I mentioned. Drop me a PM if you're interested, and congrats again, you're gonna love it

That's a mechanical fuel pressure gauge. You want to look for an electronic one with a sender.
