Question Guages?

What would be the best or more common comination of guages for an LS1? I am going with the Autometer triple pillar pod, ultra-lite gauges. Since there are two O2 sensors should i go with two air fuel ratio gauges? It seems that water temp is a good gauge to go with, or maybe an oil pressure gauge considering the block and heads are aluminum? Or should i get different gauges? Please any suggestions would help.

I was planning on getting a dual pillar pod - definitely water temp, and trans temp or oil temp. I think I saw an article over at installuniversity? - one guy used an oil temp for both engine oil and transmission oil temp with the use of a push-button switch and a little amber/green led - the led color would indicate which one was being indicated. Pretty neat.

PS - I thought the air/fuel ratio is constantly maintained by the PCM at like 17:1? I don't know how much variation you would see on a gauge.

- Water Temp
- Fuel Pressure
- Oil Pressure

Air/Fuel Ratio is nothing but a light show, a bright one at that.
