gauge suggestion

Currently I have a volt, dpic, boost, afr, and egt gauge. I'm eventually going to put 3 more on the dash. I'm thinking aeroforce, electronic oil psi, and I need an idea for another gauge. I'm not going to run dual interceptors btw.

anyone?

I think you should buy a Honda, those cars generally have more gauges than some of the first aircraft I flew haha.

how about some useful gauges? Coolant temp and manifold vacuum. Temp for obvious reasons and vacuum for many things. Search for instructions on how to use one for tuning, trouble shooting, warnings, etc. The vacuum gauge was an indispensible diagnostic tool back in the day. It is still very useful even today.

no offence but why do you want 7 gauges? Id think 3 on the A-pillar are plenty? But different strokes right, Id do something useful if you really want to have that many, good luck
