A couple of us are running the Autometer Z-series. They are nice and kinda match the factory gauges

Who has the best prices on the Autometer z-series. I would like to get a boost, pyro and a tach.

I wouldn't go that far. You get what you pay for. If your monitoring your engine and want accurate gauges go for the Autometer, isspro and other good quality gauges.

Steer clear of cheapo gauges..like the cheesy chrome deals at the local autoparts store.

In the different series in autometer, I'd say it's all appearance except for the liquid filled gauges...which are overkill for us.

I bought mine from summit and had them the next day with a little "hurry up and get my toys here" extra shipping

Summit Racing Equipment. The tach is hard to find on their site, use the "search for mfr. part #" feature, select Autometer and punch in 2888.
