The gauges you use will depend as much on personal preference as much as anything else. I personally use TPS as the ultimate guide, some prefer load but I always question load as it's a calculated value vs. TPS which is straight from the horse's mouth. Plus I get the impression load works better with stick given that an autotragic tends to downshift when put under big loads. Or maybe it's because I don't really understand what to do with load readings? Since yours is speed-density, I also am not sure what that changes vs. a mass air setup like mine.

I do as a courtesy, so to speak, like to have a DTE or gallons remaining, plus coolant temp. Rpm is nice to have as well, really tells the breakover point on hills when you stop losing revs, start to maintain, then gain revs, also great for faster feedback on the flats for modulating your throttle.


What about Timing Advance, Volumetric Efficiency, Intake Manifold Pressure?

Also, what's better to use? Fuel Level or Fuel Used??
