    New gauges

    Finally got the pics back from my gauges that I installed last week. I had my boost gauge mounted on the top right before, I figured I would put the most important ones up top in my clear line of vision.

    Tell me what yeh guys think.

    Now I need to figure out where to mount my EGT.

    Since you asked, get that eye sore of a tach out. If your cluster doesnt have it, get one with the tach and just use a multistage shift light to back up the inaccuracy of the tach.

    Hey I like my $200 tach!! It's just way too bright at night, other than that I like being able to look at all my gauges in one swoop. I'd rather not look down at the cluster to see where I'm launching. I could eyeball my launch point, boost, oil pressure, and A/F all in one glance.

    I bought the tach originally because I couldn't find a comfortable place to sit and still see the original tach to shift without the wheel in the way.

    I sure hope you aren't planning any MAXING out the 10,000 rpm tach.

    Other than that it's not bad, keep at !!!!!!!!

    there is a smaller white faced tach you can get thats only 70 bucks I think its an autogage,and goes to 8000 thats the one I have and it looks great and its only a little over 3 inches.Then you could fit the EGT on that side of the dash as well,also try to tun them so the optimal position on all of them faces the same way so in a faster glance you will see all the neddles in the same way and know when ones not right.

    I turn my gauges so that my max has the needle pointing straight up. that way at a quick glance you can see if your ok.
