Hey guys
I am planning on either getting a triple A-pillar pod or that really cool center gauge pod that Gruppe-S sells.

Either way I need 3 gauges
i think I will be using autometer, should I go with phantom (white face with black trim) or ultra-lite or silver (white face w/ silver trim)

does anybody know if it lights up the same way as our stock gauges (numbers should glow red)

also what gauges should I get

I can think of oil pressure and temp, EGT, tranny temp, what else guys? I know a/f is garbage and vac really doesn't make sense to have

thanks

 

i dont see why u would need gauges right now, other than the stock one u have. there really isn't a need for extra gauge clusters, unless u got turbo and all that, then u'd need shyt like pressure gauge, temp guage etc...

but other than heavy engine mods, dont waste ur money on gauges man.

 

yeah is see your point but still i think i wanna do them

i have been checking on ebay...shouldn't cost me more than $200 in total for everything

 

get DEFI BF (i think) guagues

 

so expensive...autometer is good and cheap (price)

 

so anyone have any opinons at all????
come on many heads are better than just one

also what do u guys prefer the a-pillar option (cheaper) or the gruppe-S center console???

thanks

 

bump still no one has an opinoin??????

 

i personally have a pillar from lancershop but im putting in dakota digital voltmeter and amp temp gauge i'll add other gauges when i start adding heavy engine mods

 

my opinion......
get the phantom (white face) gauges, and change the bulb out with a red one. they pretty much match the factory gauges perfectly (color wise). as far as the gauge holders themselves, its pretty much up to you. just remember, the a pillar attracts A LOT of attention. if anything, make sure you have/get an alarm.

 

thats a good idea L thanks for the info hehe and this even isn't my thread....the information contained in these boards is infectious ...

 

i would go with fuel pressure that is always impotant i have oil temp,egt,and fuel pressure

 

a/f is fun to watch though

get a wideband o2 sensor with the digital readout, it'd be cool, and an s-afc to so u can tune some or just have it to look cool.

id go with the a-pillar, i think thats the 'hot spot' for me.... but id have 2 on the pillar and 3 on the dash(not in the dash liek the DIN hole but on top of the dash) and than a o2 digital readout on the steering hub, and a huge Tach left of the steering wheel...thats my plans...for my truck anyways...why so many...air bag pressure gauges haha!

 

if anybody needs a triple pillar pod let me know

i bought one off of ebay, its comes primed in gray and holds 2 1/16" gauges

i let it go for $75 shipped, that will give me a net profit of zero
let me know guys

 

just tryin' to help
