Warmer air= less dense = less oxygen = less fuel burned= more smoke etc etc.

There are a multitude of gauges out there, pick one that tickles your fancy for looks or price and toss it in. Glowshifts seem to be popular, reliable and cheap. I myself am going for Isspro's EV2 factory match gauges with programmable idiot light.

As far as intalation, you will need to pull an exhaust manifold and drill / tap it for pipe thread for the thermocouple to thread into. From there route your tubing or wiring into the cab and install the guage.
