I like the way autometer cobalt gauges look.

I would suggest a nitrous pressure and fuel pressure. They are a little expensive though.

Nitrous, fuel, EGT and oil pressure are good ones to have. You just have to decide how many gauges you want and can accomidate.

I just got the DynoTune digital n20 pressure gauge and the Dynotune digital A/F ratio gauge(reads in millivolts) put in last week. The A/F gauge came with a purchase I did on eBay. I know its not 100% accurate reading off of o2 sensor but it will work untill I do the wideband one day. They are really nice gauges. Let me know if you want some pics!

Oh boy here we go again with the whole A/F thing.



Let's make it perfectly clear that it's supposed to be a 5V wideband or UEGO type A/F setup. 1V narrowband setups need not apply.


NOTE: No disrespect to your post KySilverado, just clarifying your post a bit.

None taken. But I have to question the absolute need for wide band monitoring of a nitrous aided pull. Narrow band will still indicate an extreme lean condition and rather quickly I suspect. I'll take that over nothing when playing with nitrous. Fine tuning of WOT fueling is another subject

Air Fuel is the most important and though I think wide band is the way to go a narrow band is better then spraying blind

nitrous pressure gauge & a vacuum gauge...the nitrous gauge is for knowin the bottle pressure (nice to have a constant)...vacuum gauge will tell you when things are going bad or if theyve gone bad
