Default The seventh gauge

Im trying to decided what I should put for my 7th gauge
1. Optix boost
2. Optix pyro
3. Optix trans temp
4. Isspro tach
5. Mopar oil pressure
6. Auto meter fuel pressure

A Vacuum gauge would be cool. Basically a motor monitor. Can also help your fuel economy.

If you do any towing a rear end temp gauge would be cool...

A lot of guys run a post turbo pyro. I don't really know why you would, but I know ISSPRO makes color coded pre and post turbo pyros.
