I run a pyrometer gauge. Pretty good for helping dial in timing.

I run a wideband, fuel pressure, pyrometer, boost/vacuum, oil temp and an aeroforce scan gauge.

What exactly does a scan gauge all do?

I am also unsure about the placement of the wideband with true duals, does anybody have any experience with this?

Here is a link to the gauge. I really like it. I use it to display IAT, ECT, Fuel Trims, Tranny temp.

I would say most go with the drivers side exhaust.

I have mine going there, easier to wire through firewall.

Yeah i would run fuel, boost, and wideband. Unless your racing the truck all the time those 3 would be ok.. If you just wanted extras i would start looking into oil temp or something like the scan guage.
