What gauges would you install?

[IDIBRONCO]

Well the fuel rail pressure gauge and the HPOP gauge would be a waste for us. Wes could use the NOS pressure gauge though.

How many gauges can you have? Go on ISSPRO.com and look through their catalog.

Here is a good video of some options and what he looks for from them.

Big thing about gauges that hasn't been said, is that you have to know what you're looking at.

I don't place much value on an ammeter. Unless it's using a shunt, they're usually not accurate and can be dangerous. I can diagnose most charging system issues with a voltmeter.

Hall effect shunt does not bring high current cable into cab, so no safety problem, and can switch readout between multiple cables.

My vote is oil pressure, water temp and pyrometer.

I'd think a pyro should come before a voltmeter. Dead batteries are inconvenient. Melted pistons are expensive. Stick a voltmeter where it can be glanced at occasionally.

Primary 3 inside-

Mechanical Vacuum
Mechanical coolant temp

On hood-
mechanical oil pressure
mechanical fuel pressure

My gauges are mix n' match, but I'm not too vain about such things, they just have to be accurate and always work. I do have an ammeter inside coming off of a 150 Amp shunt on the passenger fender well, but I agree with an earlier response that it is probably not needed. If you are NOT running a turbo then you need a pyrometer more than if you were.
