how about exhaust gas temp? You can use that instead of a/f.

I wouldn't trade my A/F for anything in the world. Maybe ADD and exhaust gas temp guage... but never get rid of the A/F.

exhuast gas temp is helpful, but I like my A/F... it's saved me more than once.

Re: most functional gauges to install? (illusion)

well, for example, this weekend:
I tossed in a b16 ECU to limp me by until my regular one gets back. (Bad idea by the way) and when I hit VTEC @ 5500 it ran LEAN as all hell. I knew as soon as I hit it by that little guage going solid red that I was in some ****. I don't know if I would've noticed my exaust gasses rising in temp as fast as I noticed those little red lights.
