Gauges help

Would like to get some gauges to monitor my 5.4. No real performance mods just wanting to monitor it. What ones should i get and from where. Thanks

Personally, I use a three guage pod with a/f, oil press, and vacume. Vac and a/f give you alot of information on fuel usage and load. I don't trust the factory idiot sensor to give me actual fuel pressure.

I am guessing that you meant oil pressure when refering to the factory idiot gauge?

My gallery shows my dual pillar pod with autometer electric gauges...I have oil temp as well as water temp to monitor heat levels when I tow. Basically you can get a gauge for just about everything on the motor or tranny, I would lean towards the electric from the mechanical ones....less messy and easier to install.
