Gauges needed for a 400 hp build

So I'm trying to decide what gauges to order for my setup. So far I've came up with Wideband, Boost, and Oil temp. What else could be dessired or needed for a 400 hp miata? I thought of egt but I'm not positive on the benefits over a wideband? and then there's voltage and water temp but those arent really necessary are they? Hope this isnt a repost but I didnt find anything a sec ago.
Thanks guys

It's going take some serious effort to make 400whp.
I'd do:
water temp
oil pressure
oil temp if you're on the track
fuel pressure
AFR
dual bank EGT
and possibly the Zeitronix ethanol percentage gauge

A volt meter can be really useful in the miata. Since the alternator and water pump run on the same belt, if the belt falls off/snaps you will be able to tell by your voltage level. Saved my *** on the highway one day. I was just cruising and looked down and saw my voltage below 12. Pulled over and sure enough the belt was gone.
