What to watch? New to computer controls

[mr.mindless]

I'm new to CR aside from putting a few hundred miles on a friend's 5.9 and liking it. In 3 weeks I'm picking up a 6.7 C&C truck. 352k on it. Delete, injectors, turbo, head gasket ~30k ago. Smarty Jr programmer. It's got no gauges. Guy who has it now knows 12v trucks and Dodge Cummins in general better than most and says it runs super clean, he can't get a Whig of smoke out of it. Even so, no boost/ pyro to watch seems scary to me. Are these trucks and the Smarty tunes really so good that monitors aren't needed?Does the truck already know this info and a plug-in (scangauge/ similar?) or smartphone app w Bluetooth OBD-II deal could get me that info? Or should I just get a pillar pod and go old school like I'm used to?Dumb question: is there an aftermarket cluster skin to get rid of the damn white face gauges? Biggest dislike on all the newer Mopars.

These seem reasonable.... http://www.blackcatcustom.com/Dodge%20Ram%20Truck.htm

I'd probably still throw a couple gauges at it, IMO.

I tend to agree mechanical gauge much more accurate than tapping the OBDII bus or electronic gauges.

I would throw a boost/pyro in it at a minimum. Congrats!!
