Default Recommended Gauges for Nitrous cars?

What guages do you guys recommend for a nitrous car? B18 with bolt-ons and a 50 wet shot. Obviously bottle pressure, but what else? Fuel Pressure? A/F ratio?

Secondly, Electrical or mechanical? Bottle pressure is mechanical, but what about fuel guages? I'd like to have the gauges in car and around the dash.

fuel pressure unless you have a safety switch, wideband, maybe egt.
it is a bad idea to have fuel pressure staring you in the face, i used to but i think it is a big chance to take. go with electrical gauges.

i would first learn what you need to watch for, not what guages to get. Go read about engines, nawwws, and all that fun. You can have all the gauges in the world but if you don't know what oil presure you should be running it doesn't really matter.

Save that bullshit for someone else. My motor runs fine and has from the day we swapped and converted it. I did my reading long ago about the motor and "nawwws", so spare me your opinions on what I should "learn" about.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

fuel pressure, and wideband + a/f guage is all i would look for. A 50 shot wet isn't all that much for that motor.
