I would go Wideband, Fuel Press., & Tranny Temp. Since it doesn't sound like u need/ want a boost/vac gauge...yet.

They're all designed to warn beforehand to avoid catastrophe/ minimize damage.

W/band - monitor your engine, esp. if it goes lean. How much for a new motor?

Fuel Press - alert to present condition, a.w.a. potential problems looming on the horizon.

Tranny - ok seriously now, how much is a built tranny or stall 'verter. HEAT is the enemy. I want to know what is going on w/ my4L60E. We've all got a story on the infamous 60e.

I'll probably have ~$650 in gauges. More, w/ the boost gauge. To me, it's cheap insurance. A FLT is going to cost $3K w/ converter. A motor...so far, so good. My .02.

No. Autometer gauges are standalone units.

Everyone can benefit from a vacuum gauge.
