I've got boost and air/fuel in one gauge, Oil Pressure in another and just ordered a Aeroforce Interceptor Scan Gauge.
Info on the Aeroforce Interceptor gauge for those who don't kow what that is.

I will sell you the boost gauge cheap. I have one used but still in mint condition 2-1/16 size.

To the OP
None are needed .
Boost is nice but mainly just to satisfy your own curiousity.
Oil presure is a good one. But if you keep an eye on your oil and keep full you should not have any problems. An oil pressure gauge will alert you long before tthe light comes on on your instrument cluster. So it is definatly a good idea.
A wideband air fuel would be the most important if you ask me since running lean could cause you to blow a ringland or worse. A narrow band air fuel gauge is all but worthless.
A trans temp gauge would be good. But I would spend money on a transmission fluid cooler first. Then after you do that there is not a whole lot you can do to keep the trans temp down. It would just be a good indicator of the obviuos that is is time to stop beating on your car and let it cool down some.
Pyrometer or EGT gauge is I would not worry about with just the GM sc setup.

Any gauge is worthless though if you do not monitor it enough to notice a problem right away.

Swap that wideband for an AEM (which looks real similar anyway), and those are the EXACT same ones I have.
