  • guages

    alright i have a a pillar guage pod and need to figure out what other guage to put in the empty hole.. right now i already have a oil pressure guage and collant temp guage in a pod i made under the center vent in the dash.. and i know i need to put a trans temp in the a pillar pod.. but what other guage should i put in the empty hole>?

    im either leaning towards a nitrous pressure guage (since i plan on doing a small kit on the car this year) or just making a new pod for the center and moving the water temp guage over there and leaving trhe oil pressure in the center

        the other thing i have is a digital tach with a shift light. $$$ but worth it IMO.

          i suppose i could do a shift light since i always shift my anyways since i havn't changed the weights and springs yet in this trans.. i suppose that wouldnt; be a bad idea

                yea i like my oil temp gauge. It tells you when youre running your car hard so you know when to lay off... unlike water temp.

                        thats the same one i was referring to. I think its about 6" above the oil filter if you have a vertical mount next to the oil pan.
