Ok I have been reading old posts for the last 2 hours regarding gauges. I now know that a wide band air fuel gauge is best also expensive. I have found a narrow band air fuel ratio gauge very reasonable. I also plan a boost gauge. My stock pcm and the paxton pcm were tuned by DC perf. Im almost finished with the install and will load it up and to the dyno it goes. This may seem stupid but where does the boost gauge hookup on the paxton unit

Bud, don't waste your money on a narrow band A/F gauge. It'll be no where near accurate enough for what you need. You can get an AEM for a little over $200.00. Whatever you do, it's gotta be a wideband. It can mean the difference between saving your motor or not. Also, a fuel pressure gauge is not a dad idea.:)

Next to your blow-off valve there should be a vacuum tube. Your Paxton kit should have come with a "T" fitting. Put that in-line of the vacuum line and hook the gauge line to the "T". :congrats:

And just ONE more word on the Air/Fuel gauge...if things work-out OK (Paxton Install) you could be putting close to 600/rwhp to the ground, don't cheap-out on the right gauge at this point

aem is about the same price and looks a ton better than that guage

This is the soft-ware you get with the gauge (Air/Fuel) I got. You can tune your Truck from your laptop from inside your Truck :marchmellow:
