I drew a grid on a piece of paper to represent the 6 positions on the gauge and labeled each position with the corresponding letter. Then I filled in each position with the gauge I wanted to see. Then I went to the gauge setup menu and referred to my grid to assign a letter to each gauge.
On my first page, I display instant and cumulative MPG, intake and coolant temperature, load and timing advance. The thing I keep my eye on the most is engine load. The temp gauges are on the first page because I run almost a complete grill block, even in the summer. The intake temp gives me an idea of the under-hood temps; often 30 degrees warmer than ambient.
The timing advance is interesting to watch based on what grade of fuel I put in the car. I can tell what octane fuel my wife filled with last just by seat of the pants dyno, and watching the timing advance confirms it. The car will not go to 40 degrees advance on the freeway with lower octane fuel, but it will with mid-grade or higher.
I also have an alarm set for the coolant temp when it hits 208 degrees. My fans kick on at 215.
I don't visit the other pages very often. Sometimes I'll check the DTE since I often run the fuel tank down to the last 3 or so gallons.
