Default Getting my 850r back up and running

So I bent my rods and little while back and finally got around to putting my new engine in, fired it up yesterday for a few seconds just to see if it will run still need to change the oil in it and the manual transmission fluid.
I also got a 3 Guage a pillar and I'm going to install my boost gauge and wideband afr , was wondering what other important gauge should I install and what are you guys using to power your gauges

One nice set up I saw was somebody who replaced the radio with a single DIN then ran 3 small gauges right above in the freed up space. I always liked the idea of seeing the oil temp...
