Default ok guys What 3 gauges first new to CR's

Ok like above Im new to CR's. I know i want these guages eventually

1. EGT
2. BOOST
3. FUEL PRESSURE
4. TRANS TEMP.
5. RAIL PRESSURE


Now here's the problem I cant afford them all at once. What 3 should I get for the piller mount.

or should I get a fass platimum. and if you say fass shoud I get 95 or 150 gph. I really only plan on a smarty sr. and maybe some injectors/tips later and a wicked stage III CP3 for mods.

i say egt fuel pressure and rail pressure... those are the 3 most important guages for possibly saving your fuel system/motor... boost is basically worthless imo... i'm assuming its an auto since you are gonna get get a trans temp.... overfill it by about a quart with royal purple (or comparable high quality oil) and it should be pretty safe... maybe add some lucas... just my opinion.. go with functionality first then with the cool factor later.... def get the fass ASAP

Boost, Pyro, and Trans if you have an auto trans them add fuel and rail later
Boost, Pyro, and Fuel Pressure if you have a manual trans then add rail pressure later

You might thank of the dash for the first three. I have the pillar and wished I had gone with the dash. You will be looking up to see them that takes your eye off the road. I have the pyro boost and rear end temp for I pull a 38Ft fifth wheel trailer at 65 to 75 miles an hour this lets me know when it starts to heat up.You can get one at GENOS then you can put the other gauges in the post
