A/F ? Depends what you need to keep an eye on!

Every build is going to be different! If you just shoving a let in then anything it would have had standard!

Build a highly strung let and you might want to keep an eye on more important things!

I'd perhaps run a few gauges like boost and A/F for debugging the install and then remove them once its running fine. Otherwise you just worry about what they are reading.

I run a boost gauge in both my turbo cars, just to keep an eye that's boosting properly.

Saying that, when my Signum wasn't, i didn't need a gauge to tell me. lol

Why not a lap top telling you stage 1 though 5 that bleeps when the floor plans about to fall out ? And gear no so you can keep track once you shift up 16times.......lol lol
