1. A/F = this will tell you air/ fuel mixture like its name. at the same time it will tell you how hot your engine is running....
leaner = hotter
richer = cooler
also monitor fuel supply in general,
lean = less fuel or too much air
rich= too much fuel or less air

Basically tells you is it safe to run the car..

Too lean= will cause extreme temp in the engine proucing NOX and detonation
May cause internal engine damage
Too rich= will cause high emission but you will probably make it to repair shop safely... safe mode of the most car manufacture goes rich..

Oil= oil pressure.. important..making sure that you have sufficient oil pressure to operate your car.
Oil pressure warning indicator in your instrument cluster will tell you almost right before your pressure drop down to nothin.. with pressure gauge, you can at least see it when or if it goes down.

Boost= will detect if you have any leak in the system.

in my honda days it was always EGT and boost.... if you got up to 16-17 on the egt it was enough to melt the head... so its time to back off... mine ran 13-14500 properly tuned on 8psi

I went with Wideband A/F, Boost, and Oil Pressure. Very important to note that it will vary depending on what F/I setup you have.

In my dsm days wideband A/f, egt, oil pressure, and fuel pressure was key. Wideband A/F because once again it tells if your running rich or not, but mainly because in hawaii we didn't have an awd dyno so that helped with tuning. EGT because like cturnbull stated at a certain temp parts will start to melt, so you would want to back off before it hits that temp. Oil pressure gauge; got it because mainly upon startup of freshly built motor I seized a cam because there wasn't enough pressure for the oil to get to the head. Also, if you notice that your oil pressure is remarkable lower then normal days then something is wrong or not working properly in the motor. Fuel pressure guage to dial in my afpr. Hope this helps. Oh yeah as well as the obvious boost/vacuum gauge.
