About to order 5 Nexus gauges http://www.autometer.com/demos/nexus/, 3-hole gauge pod, a over head www.socaldiesel.com gauge pod, and 3.0" Radix pulley.
Will have to wait until January for the tranny parts and meth kit.

Boost
Fuel pressure
Tranny temp
Wideband
2 aeroforcetech - usually monitor coolant temp, IAT, advance, and KR
Three in the pillar pod, one in the stock cluster, and two in the overhead mount.

Yeah I understand that but he is buying the NEXUS gauges and he has a cluster that has trans temp already in it. The NEXUS gauges dont come in WB form so that only leaves boost, and fp, all the others are already covered by the cluster and he doesnt need EGT so Im having trouble understanding the need for 5 gauges from that series. I will be running 6 also nitrous pressure, fp, boost, EGT, WB and an aeroforce.

More parts today 
Intake manifold and all the misc gaskets and crap that I'm going to need. Also got a new belt tensioner. Tomorrow my UMI TB comes. Should have pistons by Friday, and the block and rotating assy go to the machine shop on Friday
And I got my spring compressor back from kbracing96 too if that counts

-Fuel pres
-boost
-oil pres (the factory one sucks)
-water temp (cannot read factory gauge)
-NEXUS WB! (It will be available in January)
The water temp was really just a hole filler..... I really didn't know what else to get. The cluster tranny temp gauge will be fine for me. I want a 3-hole A-pillar pod, and the upper console socal pod.
What else would be better than the water temp gauge?
I have not order it yet due to a slight issue, but will be ready to purchase tomarrow. I'm getting a killer deal on them, and cannot pass it up. Prices on the gauges and component module are way lower than Summit's prices.
I won't post the Sponsors name, but he's a sponsor here.
Will be adding the Nexus tach gauge later. Not quite sure where to mount a pedestal mount gauge in our trucks that would be a solid mount and look good.
Are these not good gauge choices? If not, which gauge would you change?
