    I had bought a Trans temp gauge, Boost gauge, and a nitrous gauge...

    but If I had to do it over again, I would sub an oil pressure gauge in for the nitrous gauge.

    The first gauge that anyone should get is an oil pressure gauge. This should have been on every car produced.

    After that, I choose boost/vacuum, and trans temp. I don't see a need for much else.

    Woot, my Impala came with an oil press gauge stock.

    Anyway, my Interceptor gauge is on its way. I think a fuel pressure gauge would be good to have, and if I ever go some sort of F/I then of course a boost gauge.

    A FP gauge is a real good investment. FI or not. OP is good as well. Volts is oooooook. I had one. It wasnt really worth it IMO.
