[Botlfed]

haha ya i sapose? what guage's u all running? i see alot of automeater's being ran?

My nitrous pressure one is nice. My fuel pressure one broke. Hit or miss I guess.

Was yours like mine, like 3 strand aluminum wiring? And not nearly enough of it?

My wideband and fuel pressure are Autometer C2's. My nitrous is glowshift, and I only bought it because when it's off you can't tell what it is. Wideband and fp in the pillar, np beside the HVAC in a pod like oleshifty is selling on here.

i like the autometer..kinda pricey but def worth it in long run. I have the autometer cobalt series, wideband, trans temp and oil temp

When the wiring is only for signal, it doesnt really matter. I automatically assumed I'd have to add wire to anything. My issue was my super human strength tightening the screws on the sending unit broke it off.

you get what you pay for with gauges

i run all autometer phantom series

fuel pressure
wideband
boost
oil temp
trans temp
EGT


some gauges arent going to help you unless you have a way to do something about it like a wideband. One of the best gauges but unless youre the tuner then it doesnt help you much, EGT has came in handy knowing how timing and fueling effects, i like my boost gauge to use as a diagnosis tool to measure vaccum [it also helps you determine idle timing based off vaccum]
fuel pressure is nice to determine if pump or pumps can keep up with said power level

he runs a wideband because his termi is supercharged. Monitors air/fuel so it wont go kaboom.

well yea, but it's not like you look down at it while you're dd-ing. and if it goes funny halfway through a WOT pull, then you've got problems i would venture to say you would feel/notice before you ever looked at the gauge. like some others have said, i always took as more of a tuning tool rather than being a permenantly installed gauge.

You cant feel a motor starting to lean out. And when you feel it when your spraying.. you may feel it with a rod coming out ya block

That does make sense, its definitely a tuning tool for sure. But as for being boosted and having it on my vehicle to determine what could be going wrong under a half WOT, full WOT, or even just cruising its good to know what is going on. If I am accelerating from a stop and it just keeps dropping in the 10s, then something could be wrong. I don't personally own HP Tuners, or any logging software, so I rely on that information while I am driving to make sure everything is correct while driving.

And the people with logging/tuning software dont drive around with it hooked up all the time.
