Default gauges

so ive got the sct livewire on my truck and ive got a little extra money right now so im thinking about throwin more guages on the truck and wanted to see what ideas yall have and what yall think is most important to watch

through the livewire im watching EGT, Trans, boost, intake air temp, and coolant, and something else (my truck has a blown hg so i havent sat in her in 2 weeks so i forget)

so i know a fuel pressure gauge is on the list but is there anything that is more important (im probly gunna do a 2 guage set for now)

Fuel pressure for sure, then maybe a voltmeter or maybe an HPOP pressure gauge?

fuel pressure is probably THE most important for a 6.0

Other than that engine coolant temp and engine oil temp are nice to have right next to each other.

Pyro is obviously important when running a tuner.

I know dipricol makes a slew of gauges that seem tailored to the 6.0's The optix series more specifically. It's what I use. They use LED lighting so they will almost never burn out. They are pricey, but AWESOME.
