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

[Ian Fisher]

The proper way to get it right is to ditch the LPM and
get the car tuned on a dyno with some of the newer
software that's on the market now.

I have to second what Mark said about the A/F gauge.
It is absolutely worthless. The lights will bounce
around so much that it becomes a distraction more than
anything else. It is not a gauge that can be easily
read (sort of like our fuel gauges)
