I like the set-up a lot to be honest. The reason that I went with the AEM boost gauge was to match the AEM A/f gauge, the two most important gauges if you ask me. I put them on the steering column for the obvious reason that they are directly in my field of view that way I can keep my eyes on the road as well and also as to not draw any unwanted attention from outside of my car. I can see the Speedometer clearly all the way until about 120 mph or so, but at that speed, there's no real reason to be watching the speedometer anyways...The Tachometer is in perfect view....which is the way I like it as I'm always monitoring it....more so than the Speedometer anyways. The gas gauge is pretty much completely covered by the A/F meter, but I've a) learned to watch my Tripometer to gauge my fuel level and b) I occasionally tilt my head slightly to the left and double check the actual gas gauge. But to recap, I love this set-up!

I sort of have half that set-up as I'm using the Autometer gauge panel. It blocks from about 145+ on the speedo but if I'm going that fast, chances are I'm not looking down I love it - it's in easy view and looks great.

I have a similar setup and like it also. The only things that are obstructed is my fuel gauge and past 130ish mph. Though if I just slightly tilt my head I can see just fine.

drive with your steering wheel as far down as it can go with the lever under column...i have a similiar setup and it used to bother me...with the steering wheel all the way down, you should be able to see 160mph.

Personally it's more comfortable for me to have my steering wheel a bit higher, as having it that low makes my knee hit the bottom when heel-and-toeing. Not like I need to see the speedo above 145 anyway.

I really like that set up with the.... autometer dual steering column gauge mounts?
It looks very clean that way.

Autometer pod. I had to trim it considerably so the steering wheel didn't rub on it, but it turned out very nicely IMO.
