Oil pressure, air/fuel does nothing but fancy lights. It doesn't give an accurate reading since it hooks up to your O2 sensor. Don't waste your money

If you are referring to the narrowband show light display A/F gauge, no. Even still, I would run an oil pressure gauge. If you tune correctly, then constantly monitoring the A/F is not that neccessary.

Monitoring oil pressure can show big problems early on and possibly save a crank or rods before low oil pressure destroys them.


For me, I run a boost gauge and an oil pressure gauge. Two most important I think. Although I don't like the look of gauges and would prefer to run adjustable warning lights and buzzers.

I agree with madmax 100%..im running my wideband meter and a boost gauge. I will be running a oil pressure gauge shortly.
