I had an air/fuel ratio gauge, they are not accurate enough. It also doesn't help if you don't run an oxy sensor.
exactly.. i think the air/fuel guage is a bit of a gimmic (sp?) and just a rough guide on oxygen sensor equipped cars.
Many cars with aftermarket ecus dont even run an oxygen sensor, the air fuel is sorted out on the dyno and so the guage is not needed.
Id say water and oil pressure and temp guages would be the most important for monitoring how the engine is operating.
At least if u have the guages u can monitor the motor and prevent any major damage if something doesnt look right.
yeah, I agree that air/fuel doesn' really tell you a lot. Thinl I'm gonna get oil pressure.temp, boost and one of those warning lights for the water temp.

do you guys heat your oil in any way before you go out on the track?
Is there are recommended way of doing this? or optimum temp?
