Which gauges should I get for the gauge pod

So I'm working on getting a triple gauge pod and I'm trying to figure out what gauges I want to get for it. I'm going to keep the stock boost gauge and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the Aeroforce Interceptor SS Edition. I'm just trying to figure out what other one I should get. I'd really like to keep it cheaper, no more than $200. I'm thinking maybe an air/fuel gauge. Thoughts?

And post pics of yours if you've got 'em

Widebands are at least $300 and narrowbands are pretty much useless.

The AEM is nice but you have to recalibrate it all the time... Innovate uses regular bosche 02 sensors.....

I want to see some pics of them installed because obviously for that much money, I want it to be something I like. I really really like the Aeroforce Interceptor. Just gotta figure out if I want it in blue or red. And I like some of the AEM widebands. Does the Innovate wideband a/f gauge have any LEDs around it or is it just the digital numbers in the center? It looks good, but kinda bland for how much it costs

Ive got Autometer A/F, Water temp, and factory boost gauge. I know the a/f is useless but its more for decoration. Ill post pics as soon as I get them mounted.

Doc, I like the idea of those there, but to me, it looks a little cluttered. I'd rather have the triple gauge pod. Yours does look good though.
And Brandon, definitely post pics when you get it done!

Its all good.
Remember that you only need a LC-1 and an interceptor (the new ones) to read AFR
I'd suggest getting a double interceptor and keep the boost gauge.
Then you can add an EGT or another 0-5v sensor and read it on the interceptor.

So here's what my final decision might be....

Aeroforce Interceptor
AEM UEGO Wideband A/F
Stock Boost Gauge

^^probably mounted in that order too. Thoughts?
