Trans temp would be my first choice, then maybe an oil temp or vacuum. Maybe an air pressure guage for an on board air tank/compressor.

simple and non invasive way to add a oil "whatever" sensor is to get one of the remote oil cooler plate adapters that screws on in between your block and oil filter.
Simply get the correct sensor and screw it in aswell as pluging the return port on the plate adapter.
Triple gauge pillar, run a trans temp, oil temp and a vacuum gauge..
maintaining a high Vacuum is a REALLY good way of improving your mpg.

Why would you get a oil temp gauge on a N/A unmodified set-up?

What about tranny temp and a nice little light show like an A/F gauge or digital volts gauge?

I love autometer gauges, but my buddy has Glow Shift and has a tranny temp with a digital volts gauge built into it. They have different set-ups and are economically priced

unknown at this time.
To see active temp of oil cooler effectiveness it should always be a little different then coolant but that coupled with coolant pressure gauge could help indicate a leak between the two giving time to prevent contamination.

Another gauge you could add if you do alot of towing is rearend temp. The MagHytec Diff cover that I have has a plugged threaded hole where a temp sensor can be added.
