Default What brand gauges are you running?

I'm going F/I soon and trying to get an idea of what brand gauges I should run. I really like the look of the Prosport digital gauges. However, Prosport doesn't make a digital Fuel Pressure gauge that I can find. Anybody know of a decent brand that has a slim bezel, digital, and makes Fuel Pressure, Boost, and Wideband O2?

Anybody know anything about GlowShift? They have all three I want and in the style I want.

***EDIT*** Just did some basic research on these and they seem to be inaccurate and junk... who knows.

I also think the Prosport EVO would work well for you. (though I prefer a needle) I know you said they are back ordered, but a forum vender may have it in stock. I saw a post a while back that lethal racing had put them in a car. Try them maybe???

There a a few pics of them installed in a couple diff colors in this link
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...l-and-vid.html

Ok looking at them again I dont see a Peakhold or Warning feature? (I could be missing it?) I would DEFF look for gauges that WARN you. Noone can look at all the gauges while driving hard under boost but the gauge changing color and beeping at will help. Just let off asap and check peakhold to see what happend. Here is a quick you tube search I did to show how the ones I ordered work. Not the same gauges but you get the idea.

There isn't a warning built into the Evo series... You can run a fuel pressure senders 0-5V output into the Interceptor gauge though and have the LEDs on the scan gauge light up when fuel pressure drops below a set-point...

I went with Defi for the exact same reason. Pretty close match.

Thanks. I don't like pods and since without one I can only fit one gauge, I used an aeroforce which can monitor and give an alarm on multiple things.

I can't wait and nothing would surprise me. All I know is that for the gauges to be easily visible while driving, and for the interior to be kept more or less stock looking, the choices seemed quite limited to me.
Waiting anxiously.....

Defis are nice. Real big in the import community. They are $$$ and I don't like that they require a seperate unit to run them. And yea no wide band is the killer for me too!

My wideband is in the glove box hooked to HP Tuners. Pretty functional for me.



and Boost and Alky controller where I can reach them in a jiffy.




In my experience of 10 plus years in F/I, you really can't keep an eye on additional gauges flooring it in lower gears unless your car makes less than 600rwhp.

I had a pod in my trans am and don't want one for this car. I like the Aeroforce a lot and I'm weary of drilling that big hole in my dash but I'll most likely go with that one after seeing my friends in person and I personally think its the best spot and you don't need multiple gauges.

I hear you. I was very nervous about making that hole, but I suppose all it means is that the car will forever have a gauge there now.
