(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I hope the hardcore get into this--but being an aviation enthusiast, there are cylinder head and exhaust temp gauges made for the moitoring of each individual cyl in one gauge.
The choices run the gamut--but the best lookin ones are the analog ones. In one gauge face there are four identicle gauges for either head temp or exhaust temp. For the heads, a special thermocouple was developed that actually take the place of the sparkplug washer, therefore reads the temp directly from the sparkplug, ( arguable the hottest point) these are precision instruments that are certified for flight, and man do they look cool!!!

The exhaust ones look identicle as far as gauges go to the head temp , they just require a bung welded to each pipe and the traditional thermocouple inserted into the exhaust stream. Best of all you can get these for less than a couple hundred bucks. look at the following websites" www.aircraftspruce.com www.wicksaircraft.com Not to mention these are sick-ass looking when installed in your ride...
