Nothing else is important. At this stage, everything is for looks so do whatever you want honestly.

what else would be wise to keep track of? like vacuum ratio or water temp?

when you say Air/fuel i hope you mean Wideband. like a digital wideband like Aem UEGO, Innovative, FJO etc.

if youre shopping for gauges make sure they have a peak and warning feature otherwise theyre going to be pretty much useless. theres no way you can monitor gauges and drive at the same time. and please dont be one other dueche bags that put gauges in the glove compartment.

if you really want gauges i would say Boost gauge is a nice to have. not really needed but nice to know what PSI youre getting. but many boost controllers (Blitz, HKS, Greedy) have a built in boost gauge. so you may not need a separate gauge.

Wideband is really all you need. save your money

There is nothing else that is really important. You aren't tracking the car, and you aren't boosted. Everything is for show. Might as well get a voltage and something else to fill the spots.

why should i get voltage? what about exhaust temp? how is vacuum ratio different from air/fuel ratio and why not a vac gauge?
