Best Guage to monitor Engine

Putting in a three guage pod, volt, coolant temp, and deciding between a ext temp or a fuel pressure, what would be the best for keeping an eye out for possible lean condition..

Its still not accurate due to the voltage limitation of the stock O2's vs a real wideband.

Get a real boost gauge, fuel pressure and a tranny temp gauge.

I have heard from people using them that they are dead on with the wideband reading during dyno runs. I don't have one so I don't know how true it is. Do a search on gadgetseller and you may find some opinions.

Has anyone used the K&N gauge with sensor. Jeg's has them for 183 and the weld on fitting for 19.
