Exclamation need guidance on gauges

I am ordering a 3 gauge piller pod from autometer and a single for the steering collumn. and my questions are #1 how much boost do i need to measure, #2 how much fuel pressure, #3 how high egt's, #4 how high trans temp. remember I only want to buy them once and I plan on running some sort of fuel box keep that in mindt. If i helps I am going with autometer zseries gauges...

thanks in advance for all the in put that i know i will receve as all ways.

If you want Z-series AutoMeters, here's what I'd say to run: Boost 60 psi, with a fueling box and a turnbuckle on the wastegat you'll be able to peg the 35 psi one. For FP use their 35 psi boost gauge, the 15 psi FP gauge will be pegged with a good fuel system but the 100 psi one will be hard to read small changes on. Their standard pyro and trans temp gauges will be fine. Electric temp gauges are easier to deal with than mechanical, but mechaincals are easier to read (wider sweep of the needle for a given change in reading). Pyro and trans are most important to watch, boost is least important.
