gauge ideas??

I have room for two more gauges in my truck I currently have fuel,oil,rail,and boost pressure,egt and trans temp .I am leaning toward oil temp and either drive pressure or rear diff temp. I tow nothing with it. Just drive to track drag race or sled pull and maybe a couple trips around town but other than that it sits..

I would get a Drive pressure gauge...seems like it could give you some great info as far as tuning and turbo changes...
I am going to get one from Mike...

For the temp sensor, you have 3 options (in my order of preference):
1) Mag-Hytec cover; remove plug & install sensor (and cover)
2) Remove the factory cover then drill & tap a hole (1/8" NPT)
3) PML cover; Have boss drilled for 1/8" sensor.

Gauges....which ever you prefer.

I was told put the sender in the top of the cover to get the oil right off the gears what do you think
