EGT

gives you some indication of your exhaust gas temps
too high, you may be running lean

Air/fuel ratio meter is another handy one to have... Boost is a must for modified motors... If you are interested in having a look at what is available... come down and see us at the shop(Motoquipe Floreat)... we have the full Autometer Range as well as Venom, Splitfire, Apexi, Defi.... Check it out!

gauges are fine as long as they:

1) Don't obstruct view
2) Don't cause reflections which might blind the driver
3) Are well mounted and don't pose a threat in the event of an accident
4) Look bling
