best gauges for 3 gauge pod

well I just want to know what gauges would be best for the 3 gauge pillar, I know the boost gauge for sure and was thinking about a wideband, but I have no clue what to put in the third hole... what do people normally put in those two extra spaces?

absolutely not... Check your Number 4 and tell me if it's important or not!

I had one on my LSJ for 2 years very informative!

Those 3 gauges are what I and many other highly tuned LSJ's were and are running!

My EGT's at WOT in 3rd were like 1400* I would say prolly the same 1300-1350*

I got my EGT from Ebay it was the Autometer UltraLite kit... make sure it says KIT in it or you won't get the EGT probe!

That sound is due to it's unequal length runners... I like the sound too... just think a better long tube would be a better option!

yulp... the EGT is interesting....

When it's cold out you can really see your EGT's increase, and with pulley changes they increase as well...

WHen I had my LSJ with the 2.8 and meth at WOT they were at 1300-1325*

with the 2.7 and meth they were at 1400ish* HA HA HA
