EGT is a good idea, but expensive. Get a Westach Type-K EGT probe, which I think will work with your choice of gauges.

The Air:Fuel ratio gauges you buy for cars are worthless. The problem isn't the gauge itself, but the fact that it uses a standard Lamda sensor, which is mostly worthless at anything richer than 13:1. EGT is much more valuable and reliable information.

You really need to do some of this digging on your own, but I'd start at the DSM sites. Here are a few Westach links for the probe you need.Westach Instruments Home (http://www.westach.com)
Westach Type-K Thermocouples (http://www.frostalarm.com/cat/dp33.html)
Westach Dealers (http://www.frostalarm.com/cat/links.html)For instruments, take your pick. DSM guys seem to like VDO.

I loved that car. Not as much as I love my B15, but it was definitely in second place. As for "DSM," I mean first- and second-gen, the ones with compressors. ;)

You guys really need a 60mm Greddy Electronic Fuel pressure guage (black, white lettering, green backlit). Make me an offer, $200+ retail.
