Water temp or oil temp...whats best

I am about to install a temp guage for use at the track and was wondering wich was better for monitoring engine temps, or i guess wich is more important to monitor?

Well, you could linearize the stock temp gauge and then install an oil temp one... That's one way to have the best of both worlds...

The stock temp gauge can be made accurate?

I checked the " how to Linearize stock water temps"
Seemed to be a real PITA (pain in the ***) and
still won't get absolute true reading..

GET a water temp Gauge.. OR
Get a PFC that monitors Water temp,
and a FUEL pressure gauge
