Gauge pod

Ok, I got my gauge pod in (2 hole). My pyrometer gauge is 3", so I can't put that in. I'm guessing I can chuck my unlighted swimming pool pressure gauge and stick a proper boost gauge in the pod. What do you guys recommend I put in the other? I could stick a tach in there, but the RPM's of a motor I can't possibly over-rev aren't really that improtant. I know when to shift by the boost gauge (and feel). Fuel pressure pre VE?

Sure, why not? Get a tapped banjo bolt and a snubber and go to town.

I think I would rather put a non-diagnostic indicator, like perhaps charges air temp at the air horn or something.

I am going to talk to my Superflow Dyno friend and ask if he has a line on a good PCMCIA I/O card that I could use to data log my engine. It would be nice to be able to tune based on data.
