RE: temp gauge
I would not recomend getting a temp guage. It is not needed for tuning. You can tune your engine without it and have it run perfectly fine. Many people will say that it is a must have but in the end you will be more concerned at keeping the engine within a certain temp range then having fun driving your truck/car.

RE: temp gauge
Being new to this I do recommend to get one. No do not try to tune to a certain temperature but it sure can keep you from frying an engine. I sure see all the big pros at the big races using them. How much does one cost and how much does and engine cost!

RE: temp gauge
yeah its not necessary to spend big $$ on one. my dad has one for work so i "borrowed" it. i dont use it to tune i jsut use it out of curiousity. tune by performance and sound and smoke, not temp
