I think definately an EGT. Or if you don't have one a regular aftermarket temp gauge. Depends on what set up you have but the minimum requirement generally is the temp gauges first and boost. A/F just usually sounds more "tuned" to have on your list of goodies, than useful.

a/f ratio gauge is usless, get a egt, actually dont get that, get a water temp/oil temp/oilpressure/fuel pressure gauge before both of those

Get a wideband A/F gauge.

Same with my FJO

But AF, and EGT, won't tell you much, especially if you have the stock sensor... either get a wideband setup.. AEM Makes a nice gauge/meter setup, or get something that's going to tell you when things get dicey like a Radiator Water Temp Gauge Mounted into the water pump houseing so you get Temp before the Thrmostat opens...
