temp/oil psi/ and it depends.. if you run boost then of course a boost gauge.. theres also fuel pressure gauge.. they make just blank gauges to fill in the hole until ya need a gauge for somethin else

I would guess a Tach? Ive got a two pod pillar with Temp and Oil, my next choice would be a tach.

My first two were temp & volts (got a system, had to monitor), then boost & A/F came 'round

Oil pressure and FP are popular ones, too.

yeah i will probably go with the volt to go along with oil psi/water temp...

i wanna mount some in my center vent, but still want some air flow... i think i'll do volts, and water temp in there...

then i want a tach pod w/ the two other guages, prolly go with oil pressure, and possibly boost when i get my vortech?

i've also heard of oil temp guages being something good to invest in... what about one of those?

That'd probably depend on what your setup was and the likeliness of you having to worry about it
