Gauge ranges

I might have an opportunity to buy a boost, trans temp, and EGT gauge direct from a name brand company through work. But I do not the ranges to ask for. I have a relativley stock 97. I know the boost gauge top limit should be scaled no higher than 30 psi, but what should the high range be for the trans temp and EGT be?

Typically you start to worry about the tranny temps around 200 deg, so depending on what gauges you look at, 250 - 300 as a top range min. Pyro worry zone is around 1250, but depending on tunes and mods, short runs up around 1400 are not unheard of.

I would get the boost gauge that reads higher than 30, It's not uncommon to see those numbers with the proper mods. I would get a pyro that reads at least 1600 also
