Please, I beg of you, stop putting such good ideas into my crazy, crazy
brain.. :)

I think I want a window into each cylinder too, with a camera pointing at
each, so I can monitor detonation...

But on that note, what constitutes too much information? I'm pretty sure oil
temp and pressure gauges cover the major operating variables missing from
the stock system, but my little O2 sensor gauge allows me to watch my engine
misfire subtly but regularly, explaining my low gas mileage... Look in the
cockpit of even a small airplane, though, and you have gauges for
EVERYTHING. Where do you draw the line?
