Default Adding auxilary gauges...

I'm getting ready to drop in my new 383 and I'd really like to add some extra gauges to monitor things- what do folks recommend?

I'm thinking fuel pressure, EGT and AFR (wired to my LC1).

I'm also trying to hunt down the tripple/quad gauge pod that mounts to the dash. I see them every once in a while on "serious" import tuner cars, but I am not sure who makes them.

Dunno, but these guys have most everything. I assume looks will be a big factor.

I've always liked to have a vacuum gauge. That and a wideband together are almost as good as a datalogger.
I recently added the combo of wideband / vacuum / fuel pressure to my Camaro, it's kinda nice to see "what's happening" rather than just "what could go wrong."

Have you thought of putting them in the dash? I started filling in my dash with gauges, here is a pic:
