I have Autometer Pro-Comp Ultralite and Silverlite (liquid filled). The top two are liquid filled mechanical gauges for oil pressure and water temp (the most important ones) and the lower left is the voltmeter and the lower right is the transmission temp gauge (mechanical). In the lower center is a small digital tach I use for setting idle and checking stall rpm (no time to look during a pass). The center red light indicates the line-loc is on and the upper red light I no longer use (used to be high EGT warning). The big warning light on the steering column is low oil pressure, big enough and bright enough to get my immediate attention.

I also log EGT's all eight cylinders, oil pressure, boost, fuel pressure, rpm, driveshaft speed and G's on a Racepak Sportsman data logger to look at after the pass.
