    Okay, so i just bought a 3 pod pillar and i need to pick some gauges to go in there.
    What would be the 3 best you would pick?

    I was thinking a wideband, an aeroforce , and a fuel pressure?
    2 aeroforce, and wideband?
    aeroforce, boost , and wideband?

    Which ones are most important?
    F body Front, GXP rear brakes, SSC, Poly Dogbones, SLP Gen 1 spoiler, Gpo's, GTX hood, SD Air dam, LED tails, badges and decals, Comp G Seats,
    FSIC, Ported and painted Gen 3, ZZP LIM, SD Headers, REmoddified ZZP fuel rail, 60 lb injectors, LS7 lifters, 1.9 modded rockers, 2.6 pulley E85, 21 degrees timing -Timboku tuned

    you can get an aeroforce wideband to work in conjunction with the aeroforce gauge. I'm not sure what to get for the other 2 holes, I just run 3 aeroforce's

    I hear a lot of people don't really like aeroforce gauges because they can be hard to see or read while driving.

    the only time I have issues seeing or reading my aeroforce is when I have polarized sunglasses on.

    Volt, Boost, Oil

    No need to know fueling cause once tuned it's set anyways... KR scan is always good (aeroforce) but once tuned shouldn't be a problem unless something broke or maybe bad gas, lol.

    But volt, boost and oil can tell me something else is happening. And yeah, I'd probably hear it before I see it if oil pressure goes, but wth... Lol, that's my $.02

    1) aeroforce

    2) wideband

    3) gauge of your choice.

    Personally I just stick with a hud pod and just run the first two

    What year is your car, and how do you have your gauges setup?

    I think I'll be replacing my middle Aeroforce with a vac/boost gauge too.

    my car is a 2001 Grand Prix GTP. I have the aeroforce triple gauge setup with a pillar pod from zzp. I dont have the aeroforce wideband setup yet, but I am considering it as a next mod.

    oil pressure is the most important gauge you can have in your car and i didn't see it listed in this thread yet. shame on you people.

    a wideband is nice, but it's really only needed when you're tuning the car. after that it becomes a useless flashy light show gauge.

    I run a boost, and two aeroforces. One of my aeroforce runs oil pressure, the other wideband.

    You have all three running at the same time with no problems? How many parameters/refresh rate?

    Right now I have a triple installed, but only have 2 running. One boost/KR at fastest speed, the other cycles IAT/Coolant/Trans Temp at slowest refresh. Can't seem to get three to run reliably. If I replace one with a boost/vac then I can install my Aeroforce Oil Pressure kit on the fast refresh one.

    Here's what I have.

    In my 3-gauge pillar pod:
    - Volts
    - Boost
    - Oil Pressure

    HUD Pod:
    - Aeroforce
    - Wideband

    I'd definitely say go with an Aeroforce, Wideband, and Oil Pressure.
