1&2 IMO

FP to know you're getting good fuel pressure and n20 so you dont have to turn around to look at the bottle to determine the bottle pressure.

Dynotune makes a good electric/digital n20 gauge that fits in the gauge pod for $150. OUCH! but still cheaper than the NX/Autometer one.

Why not do what I did and use three on the pillar.
I installed a dual and a single takes some modification's but looks like it was made for it. :yesnod:

In a dual pod (you can add a single if you really want three) I run: fuel pressure and EGT. For a nitrous mill you can't have a better guage than an EGT. Nitrous pressure is great but I have a guage on my bottle and as you know, in a Corvette, it's right behind you so it's easy to see on the bottle.

Just a single EGT probe in the leanest cylinder (usually 7 or 8) is the best for tuning N2O and making sure you don't have a meltdown. That's what I've always used on my setups.

EGT is good but like he says needs to be on the leanest cylinder. I need the N20 pressure because I can not see my bottle, and neither can anyone else. :D
