[Shotimes] What are your favorite 3 add-on gauges?

[Carl Prochilo]

BTW, NO ONE has mentioned an EGT gauge (exhaust gas temperature).  These
guys I was talking to made it sound like this gauge was the second coming
of christ or something.  The rationale went something like, when you open
up the intake and exhaust, it is likely the exhaust temperature will get
higher and therefore more likely the occurrence of potential damage.  I
take it that this is not an issue for SHOs.

While I'm at it, these guys also mentioned the benefits of a wideband O2
sensor with the stock PCM programming.  I've seen these sensors mentioned
with a tuning device like a Tweeckr <sp>, but is changing the O2 sensor
from narrowband to wideband alone a good idea?
